Actually now that I look at it, the current code ignores sbr
altogether.

groff, but actually my XML uses refsect1s.  Looks like refsections
aren't handled yet. :-(

I don't see this in 1.61.0; also multiple terms seem to work for me as
expected (separated by commas).

With '.\"' I think.  A simplistic template would be:

<xsl:template match="comment()">
  <xsl:text>&#10;.\"</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

but that won't work for multiline comments.  Of course you can split
them into lines in the template.
