the context of this was a discussion how to generate a ToC using NROFF.
My comment was regarding the claim that NRoffEdit somehow achieves this;
it does not. It just does exactly what xml2rfc does: it paginates itself
and adjusts the ToC accordingly. Once you feed the nroff output, be it
from NRoffEdit or xml2rfc, into a standard nroff process, it'll get
incorrect as soon as page breaks change.
The page break will NOT change. NRoffEdit produces the exact same
page breaks as "the standard nroff process".
More context: At issue is the use of nroff by the RFC production center,
which *does* manipulate the page breaks through hand tweaking.
