It's not illogical - if your source file says

well worth running that before submitting *any* I-D, whether produced
by xml2rfc or another method.

Another tool that is worth running on the xml source before using
xml2rfc on it is at http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/ietf/xml2rfc-valid/ ;
it will check that the source is well-formed and valid according to
the DTD (XML generated outside of a validating editor is often not
valid, and sometimes even not well-formed, even though xml2rfc creates
a fine-looking document from it), and also checks for various other
errors including the IPR requested.
