You can submit the HTML, the problem is that it seems to go in the bit
bucket.
Since the preferred submission formats are XML or nroff, I see no reason
that the HTML version could not be generated from the XML.
The problem seems to be that the RFC editor insists on using the XML to
generate nroff and then makes all edits to the nroff, this is then used to
generate the teletype version and a PDF of the teletype version.
The net effect appears to be that there is no HTML version available, even
if the authors exclusively used HTML for the production process.
Hence, what I consider to be entirely justified anger on this point.

Phillip,
I don't want to enter a discussion about the merits of PDF/A over HTML at
this time. However, I do agree with you that it would be nice if you could
submit HTML. If its true that its currently prohibited to look at it or
subimt it, then that is something that could be fixed. I can take it up with
the IESG. Or does someone see a reason why this should be prohibited (as
long as you also submit ASCII)?
