Re: and... text for the win

Hello Carsten and all,

IEEE 802 editors usually use Microsoft Word, and their specifications are high-quality technical specifications.  So please be careful about that.

However, I hated it the whole time.  My own preference is to use a format and tool where features have predictable results (Word fails this test miserably).  Even .xml fails this test sometimes, in my experience and according to the mailing list discussions on xml2rfc.  I can at least understand what text is going to look like when it gets published.   And let me once again say thanks for rfcdiff.  Fabulous.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Hammer/nail.

99 % of the world is not collaboratively developing high-quality technical specifications, so I don’t care that much about those 99 % as a role model.
