(PS: The IESG has chosen to impose the RFC editing rules on all Internet
Drafts. That always seemed counter-productive to me. I am not sure I
would characterize the problem as "serious", but it does seem t o warp
common sense for the sake of bureaucratic uniformity.)
In my view, we have an actual serious problem in that there is an
increasingly high barrier to I-D submission because idnits has a large
number of rules, nearly all of which are about formatting. I don't
believe that authors of documents or WG-appointed editors ought to
have to worry terribly much about that, except maybe near the time
when the document is ready for publication. It's absurd, given the
tools available, that document authors need to worry as much about
line lengths and number of pages (!) in initial submissions as they
need to worry about completeness and clarity of their text.
