A problem for documentation is, that the XML for DocBook schema needs to use its [FONT=Verdana]style sheet[/FONT], not .txt tools, to take care of spacing and presentation. It should be included in FreeBSD XSLT's stylesheet. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/stylesheets.html
Using the style sheet for formatting will provide better consistency, and ease of use, so all anyone has to master the DocBook schema.
There should be a tool that removes or checks for spacing outside of element tags as an XML file, and just otherwise checks the schema. The text pad or command line editor should continue to be used, however, its submission needs to be checked as an XML file according to its schema, not as a .txt file. XML and its schema are meant to be used with .xml related tools, not .txt related tools. XML and its style sheets are for organization of presentation and data, while .txt specific tools are nowhere as capable.
Also, BSD can have an extension schema of the DocBookmarkup schema currently used, with commonly used definitions contained in it. The currently used schema lacks regularly used definitions, because it marks them as spelling errors. Elements and attributes can also be improved for BSD specific use. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/docbook-markup.html
