Repeat after me:
Everybody can display ASCII. Until everybody can display XML, we won't
be using XML for the canonical form for RFCs. This is *different* than
what Marshall Rose did in RFC2629 - note that that document is itself
*flat ascii* describing how to write XML and *then convert it to create
a flat ascii RFC*.
I feel very sorry that I cannot repeat after you.
If following arguments have come forth, I'd like to repeat:
One can display doesn't necessarily mean one can comprehend.
One cannot comprehend doesn't necessarily justify that
one is the very person that should be blamed.
// That's the reason why I write this email in flat ASCII, not in XML.
// Besides, it doesn't pay to present such a simple message in XML.
// Maybe it's also the reason why Marshall Rose wrote RFC2629 in
// plain ascii.
One may eventually comprehend doesn't mean one comprehends in time.
One hasn't comprehended in time doesn't necessarilly justify that
one is the very person that should be blamed.
// So the presentation format of the idea makes sense.
// XML provides significant presentation convenience, besides other merits.
