The author certainly knows it (yes, I'm aware that the RFC editor performs changes which are not backported in the author's copy, a really annoying thing; that's why I said the current process is bad). > (XML2RFC is only one; some use troff, and others use Word, among > others) Sure. This is not a problem for me. I just want to see the source, as the author saw it. > Why would inter-source conversion be more useful than cut-and-paste? I don't have experience with MS-Word but (re)generating the RFC 2629 source from the ASCII version is a big pain (while there are automatic converters, for instance from *roff to XML and, of course, from one XML to the other). _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
