   It seems to me that a fairly simple hack could be
   consed up to generate HTML or whatever for current

I'd very much like to allow the submission of XML to the I-D directories.

However, in addition I'd like to actually allow the
submission of HTML, generated by xml2rfc. Why? Because
I'd really like to browse most drafts through my browser,
jump to sections,  find the references easily etc. And without
performing any extra steps by myself.

(It may be that this is possible via XML as well -- I'm
not expert in XML so I can't tell if its readily supported
by everyone's browser without loading lots of DTDs. Does
someone know?)

And all of these submission formats should be allowed if
and only there's a text version to go with it.
