In order to improve the readability of RFCs while supporting their
archivability, the canonical format of the RFC Series will be
transitioning from plain-text ASCII to XML using the xml2rfc version
3 vocabulary; different publication formats will be rendered from
that base document. With these changes comes an increase in
complexity for authors, consumers, and the publisher of RFCs. This
document serves as the framework that provides the problem statement,
lays out a road map of the documents that capture the specific
requirements, and describes the transition plan.
