Any tips on 1) how to do inline boldface and 2) what to do with ASCIIart 
illustrations that are too wide for the page?

I'm using Stefan Santteson's nroffEdit (since I'm presently stuck on Windows),
but it doesn't seem to like .B/.R or \fB / \fP for the former, and on the latter point,
it's simple unclear how I should approach the thing (a four-column time-sequence
diagram of a network transaction, similar to that of the four-point SIP call.

Those days I think the things are done with the help
of xml2rfc, I have used xxe Personal Edition with
the xxe-xml2rfc plugin, so no nroff needed really anymore.
