No, what I mean is that this *alone* should be enough:

@port-note sco-unixware-8, It almost works
@portability posix, ~sco-unixware-8, unix-98

It would cause this ouput, obviously hacked:

POSIX: Yes
sco: not unixware-8 (It almost works)
unix: 98

Obviously, the "pretty" text isn't there, but I'm talking about a
catch-all to handle the cases it *doesn't* know about.  If you want to
add the other @port-* to add the pretty text, OK, but it shouldn't
require them.

Right, which is why it should ignore qualifiers not listed in the txh
files, because the *user* has the concept of newer that mkdoc is
lacking.
