I picked "neither" since I use both and don't have a strong preference. nroff gives me much more control over the actual formatting, xml lets me leave the tool maintenance to someone else and I do see the advantage of well-formed metadata. (otoh I have nroff macros to help in writing MIBs, which e.g., create the SEQUENCE so it's never out of sync with the objects in a table... can't think of how I would do that in XML offhand) Bill _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
