Me too.  RFC 2223 helped a little, but it is rather vague and
incomplete.

I looked at those, but found XML to be less of a tool than a
barricade.

Finding RFC 2223 insufficient, I wrote a set of macros and related
tools.  See draft-lilly-using-troff and related discussions on
the RFC-interest mailing list (
http://www.rfc-editor.org/pipermail/rfc-interest/
).

That would depend on the status of the document.  If it's to become
an RFC, then references to drafts can be only as a "work in progress"
and references to web sites other than IETF/IANA/RFC-EDITOR are
strongly discouraged.  If it's just another random document, anything
goes.
