This was written up in the same BSTJ number that talked about many of the troff pre-processors and other DWB tools, IIRC.  Was that the "big" UNIX edition? Either way, the paper is well worth a read if you can find it (and I'm sorry I can't recall the title right now).

I think it's 'Language development tools' by Johnson & Lesk in vol 57 number 6 part 2, p2155 (which I'm sure I should cite in some more proper way).
