One of the persistent problem today is that "bis" drafts are harder to
write than they should be. Rather than being able to work from the final
source, there are often only almost-final, pre-RFC-editor versions in
XML (or Word), where one then has to make sure that no late-stage
changes are being missed. It can be done, but its tedious. (Even access
to the pre-final versions relies on individuals keeping old files
around.) Having a more organized and documented source management
mechanism in place would help.

IMHO, IETF should always publish the "source" of its documents (the
current RFC process is far from perfect in that respect).
Which source (XML2RFC is only one; some use troff, and others use Word,
among others)? Why would inter-source conversion be more useful than
cut-and-paste?
