I picked "neither" since I use both and don't have a strong
preference.  nroff gives me much more control over the actual
formatting, xml lets me leave the tool maintenance to someone else and
I do see the advantage of well-formed metadata.

(otoh I have nroff macros to help in writing MIBs, which e.g., create
the SEQUENCE so it's never out of sync with the objects in a table...
can't think of how I would do that in XML offhand)
