vgrind is the standard tool for prettyprinting source. If it is outdated to
the point of uselessness, it should be removed. If it is incapable of ever
supporting anything but roff, then perhaps it should be replaced. Granted
HTML is not a typesetting language or a "pretty" printing language for
anything, but it's also currently a convenient way of getting acceptably
mediocre output, and an intelligently written vgrind should not have trouble
supporting multiple output backends.

Meanwhile, as you say there are unanswered questions about text and document
processing and the ongoing role of roff; these should be answered but it
doesn't do any good to close the PRs that contain reminders of what the issues
are.
