    (element errorname ($mono-seq$
      (make sequence
        (make entity-ref name: "ldquo")
        (process-children)
        (make entity-ref name: "rdquo"))))

in freebsd.dsl should solve that.  Using things like <errorname> means
that we can expand some of the automatically generated tables.  As well as
a table of contents and a table of examples we could have a table of error
messages. . .

If that works for you then feel free to commit it to freebsd.dsl (right
around the place we do the same thing to the <sgmltag> element).
