Making the xml source available is a boon for those working on subsequent revisions of a document. Many of the RFCs and I-Ds I've worked on have been derivative of earlier RFCs, and having an authorative source format available helps that considerably. Since I grok nroff, I've been able to make good use of the nroff source on occasion, and the RFC Editors have sometimes (in non-crunch-time situations) been quite happy to provide that. I'd much prefer having the source files available at all times so I didn't have to ask them, or make do without during those crunch times.
