Draft section 8 states:
Furthermore, drafts containing PDF or Postscript format
must not be auto-posted until the Toolset can validate that their
content matches plain text format (R143/a).
That would seem to be unnecessary if PostScript/PDF are generated
automatically (by the Toolset) from the same source used to generate
text.
The requirement is, of course, necessary (it does not depend on what the
Toolset does or does not; it is driven by IETF needs).
If text and PDF/PS formats are generated automatically (and correctly) by
the Toolset from the same source, then the Toolset effectively validates
that PDF/PS content matches plain text format.
not necessarily - for instance if the source can conditionally generate
content depending on the output format. which, if you think about it,
is about the only reason we should bother trying to generate multiple
formats from a common source.
