>Description:

	Running nroff on a document where an .It appears inside an open
	element (e.g. .So) results in an error:

	mdoc error: .It found in enclosing (e.g. .Ac ... .It ... .Ao) (#258)

	Running mandoc on the same document produces no such error.

	It would be helpful for mandoc to complain about any and all missing
	closes. (I feel that nroff is doing it here almost by accident.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	Obtain revision 1.31 of src/lib/libc/stdio/mktemp.3 and run it
	through nroff and mandoc.

	ftp -o mktemp.3 'http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/stdio/mktemp.3?rev=1.31'
	nroff -mdoc mktemp.3
	mandoc mktemp.3
