At the request of the IAOC the Internet Society issued an RFP on 14 December 2017 for the development of tools to support changes to RFC formats, a project led by the RFC Series Editor, Heather Flanagan. On 1 January 2018 the IAOC awarded a tools development contract to Soaring Hawk Consulting to develop the RFClint, svgcheck, and XML Diff tools. The specifications were developed through a four-plus-year community process that culminated in the following RFCs: a. RFC 7991 The xml2rfc Version 3 Vocabulary b. RFC 7992 HTML Format for RFCs c. RFC 7994 Requirements for Plain-Text RFCs d. RFC 7995 PDF Format for RFCs e. RFC 7996 SVG Drawings for RFCs f. RFC 7997 The Use of Non-ASCII Characters in RFC g. RFC 7998 xml2rfc Version 3 Preparation Tool Description Soaring Hawk is led by Jim Schaad, while Robert Sparks and Heather Flanagan will serve as the Project Managers for the project. Thanks.
