I too use Subversion and rfcdiff and xml2rfc. But there are people doing work (i.e. writing docs) in the IETF that do not work this way. They may find using a version control system to be time-wise expensive or prohibitive, especially compared to emailing track- change-docs back and forth.
I would not mind swapping from to an XML package provided it supported change-tracking, embedded comments, highlighting, WYSWYG display, edit time spell and edit time grammer checking, and was a simple to install and maintain on XP. Is there such a package? If not, I will stick with Word and continue to exchange change-track text with my co-authors. - Stewart BTW - one carrot that would tempt me away would be if the result allowed the normative text to incorprate proper diagrams - like ITU and IEEE - two name but two - have use in their specifications for the last 20 or so years. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
