Success, thanks:

– where the '--mode=nroff' part of the aspell(1) example will have 
little or no effect in most cases – it will be preferable to have aspell 
present everyday language, without markup.

For as long as there'll be no aspell filter mode for mdoc, demandoc 
might be the best workaround. I can, for example:

demandoc /usr/src/share/man/man9/intro.9 | xclip

– and then use the context menu of the system tray icon for my local 
LanguageTool server. The result, pictured:

I spent a few hours searching, can't find a way to make combined use of 
demandoc with the check command of aspell; for aspell to be interactive 
with a markup-free, human-friendly view of an mdoc page (not a word 
list). If anyone has a solution in mind, I'll raise the question in 
Stack Exchange.
