IMHO, IETF should always publish the "source" of its documents

Which source
The source. The author certainly knows it (yes, I'm aware that the RFC
editor performs changes which are not backported in the author's copy,

bad).

with a snapshot of the tools that are used to process it. XML2RFC is a
moving target in that regard, as is Word.

Re XML2RFC: why do you need a snapshot if future development produces versions that continue to implement the semantics defined in RFC2629?
