RE: Last Call: 'Proposed Experiment: Normative Formatin AdditiontoASCII Text' to Experimental RFC (draft-ash-alt-formats)

From: Julian Reschke [mailto:julian(_dot_)reschke(_at_)gmx(_dot_)de] 

XML2RFC once made me miss a draft deadline by choking on some XML I 
wrote without saying why or where, leaving me with an impossible 
debugging task. Formatting drafts in vi may take longer on average 
than working with xml2rfc but it's more deterministic.

AFAIK, XML2RFC diagnostics have been enhanced a lot lately. 
And, if it's an XML wellformedness/validity issue, running 
the document through a standard XML processor should help, too.

Best regards, Julian

Whatever the output format it should be very easy to modify XML2RFC to generate 
it.

To generate PDF I have to do a lot more work.


Perhaps what we should do is to publish the XML2RFC source of RFCs that have it 
in the same way that the PDF and PS are published.
