RE: xml2rfc is OK ( was: Re: XML2RFC must die, was: Re: Two different threads - IETF Document Format)

I created an xml2rfc template, like those available on xml.resource.org,
which I copy and modify for new drafts, and use the web version of the
tool - and everything works well enough for me.

I'm decidedly not picky about formatting, because I want to spend my
time contributing content.

Because sometimes the error messages can be cryptic, when modifying the
XML tags, I frequently submit the document and generate HTML in order to
bound the number of XML tags that can contribute to a problem.

since you asked: I have absolutely no problems with xml2rfc.

I used to edit in nroff, which wasn't compatible with my brain, and I 
used Joe's Word template, which works OK, but I prefer something 
ASCII-based for collaborative editing (for svn, diff, etc.)

I'm fully open to trying something new once someone creates a 
different
("better") tool, but until then, xml2rfc is OK.
