I kid you not :-).  About 40% of the SGML submissions I receive are broken
in some form, despite a template that is correct.  Usually it's unclosed
tags, removal of a necessary tag, etc.  If I had to guess, asking for
nroff/mdoc submissions would result in a slightly higher success rate, as
I suspect developers have a bit more experience with it, and also don't
have to install a port to get syntax checking.
