Sure, but my point is people probably don't want to do this all the time.
I've got a Makefile for that. Should I share it?

I thought people did and that was a problem. Did I misunderstand
something?
Yes, you're taking this entire line of commentary completely out of
context.
This was all in response to Eliot's suggestion that XML versions of the
document should be required at the time of WGLC. John K responded to that
advising caution for various reasons and I chimed in with the additional
reason
that this will force people to generate standalone intermediary versions
for submission.
I'm aware of what started the discussion.
However, when I use the submission tool today, I may not even know
whether a particular version I submit will be a WGLC version. So I think
whatever is the right answer for WGLC or LC is also the right answer for
any ID version.
