It is mostly straightforward to obtain markdown format from an existing RFC or
similar formatted text, and I have used this to manually compile input from
various sources into one I-D.
Doing this in a fully automatic way would probably need some more heuristics,
e.g., for cross-reference management. We already have some of these heuristics
in the programs we use to display RFCs in web pages.
Exercise left to the reader ;-)

Could it turn existing RFCs into XML as well?
