I stumbled on a link to a rather interesting "word processor" called Draft:
https://draftin.com/
The main claim to fame here is support for collaborative writing and review
with better incremental/history management than certain other browser-centric
document production tools.
It also uses a wiki-like inline markup language for formatting, which it
translates to HTML markup for display.
This raises some thoughts:
1) Something like Draft might make a simpler tool for I-D collaboration than
github (which I used recently for a large I-D project). An author team could
make use of it as-is.
2) Perhaps a wiki-like formatting language could be adapted to I-D writing; it
could be made to generate XML2RFC output instead of HTML.
If we had a "Draft" that generated XML2RFC (particularly with a bi-directional
transform) and a closely-mated issue tracker, the combination might be very
cool.
