I have no objection in principle to incorporating support for DIN 5008-format letters, either as a standalone macro package or as groff_mmde(7) (say), but I don't plan to drive the process myself.

Jan Eden also posted a DIN 5008 macro set (http://lists.gnu. ... -07/msg00046.html).

A proposal for a macro set to support German national standard DIN 5008 was put forth on the email list a few months ago (http://lists.gnu. ... -01/msg00022.html).  In this thread, Alexis (copied on this ticket) indicated having a working prototype of a set of macros.

It's unclear how many (if any) of the informal requirements for contrib inclusion that Brendan posted later in the thread have been met, so there are still any number of reasons this may not become part of groff.  But since discussion indicated groff inclusion was a possibility, this ticket exists to keep that on the radar.
