Only in some versions. In the latest MacOS version it's not supported.

This makes one wonder whether there could be a better way.

I think a better way would be to create a new intermediate format that can both be an input to generate XML2RFC code _to_ as XML2RFC code _from_, as well as HTML and the current RFC archival format.

This solves the problem that converting anything else into XML2RFC a reverse lossy process: XML2RFC needs more than what other formats can supply so automatic conversion (from, for instance, Word) is impossible.
