docbook editor), or
worse, open an existing one and translate it. :-(

Same, or worse, info pages.
One of the problems is that there is no modern tool for doing the job.
It is done in plain text with arcane tokens, and the result is
"compiled" later. Fine for devs, bad for plain, poor translators.
I think there is a plethora of tools "out there" that will let you write
in e.g. SGML, and produce almost any kind of outpout, including a man
page.
