As others have pointed out, nroff (or MS Word, etc.) fans can still submit
their drafts using the Toolset (as currently defined); they just will not
submit their sources.
Which implies, for the case of documents where figures (etc.) differ
in PostScript/PDF and plain text versions, that there will still be a
substantial amount of manual effort required. See draft sections 1 & 8.
Generation of text, PostScript, and PDF from single troff source is not
only feasible, it is de rigeur. It seems silly to specify a toolset
purportedly to provide benefits of automation, but not to specify
automated processing of a widely-used source format which is quite
amenable to automated processing.
