The current RFC publication process has some astonishing delays apparently
due to the process including a conversion of the source text to
nroff. Eliminating that step, or at least automating its equivalent, could
only help.
The RFC editor has stated that the conversion step is a minor
annoyance, and not a significant source of delay.
