I don't mind the XML part of writing the drafts, it's just annoying that so few DTDs are available to edit the things. There are a ton of commercial XML editors out there--Word, Dreamweaver, and many others. But, not being an XML expert, I don't know how to get a DTD to work in any of these software packages, so editing the XML side is a matter of hand coding it. <blech> I think a lot of the problem is the issues with editing these things. If we had a DTD that worked in other pieces of software, it could be converted using commonly available software into text formats. The problem, from my perspective, isn't the format, it's the lack of tools to work in that format, at this point. :-) Russ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpTWmkACgkQER27sUhU9ORlnwCdF1PckJKO7f0vRO6JdJ2UPdJ+ s/QAmQHnUXbr/DoOPj0YF9YRwkAIPlIU =72jr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
