Folks might want to take a look at the latest xml2rfc capabilities. See <http://xml.resource.org/>. Besides making it far easier to include the correct boilerplate, it has the option of including pretty graphics for the PDF version, while using the ASCII form for the ASCII version.

XML2RFC has improved in this regard, e.g., it allows inclusion
of pictures for the HTML version. But I do not think even the
latest version generates .pdf nor does it appear to produce
very pretty output from xml->html->pdf. Though your favorite
XML editing tool may provide some solution for that. Nevertheless,
I've had good success in running xml->nr->pdf, but that requires
some tuning of the nroff output -- this is what the tool link that
I posted earlier does, without requiring the user to do any
extra steps or having any software beyond what regular unix
systems do by default.
