I guess people's experience differs. Between the online doc and a couple of sample documents, it took me maybe an hour to figure out how to write for xml2rfc, if that. I suppose it helps to use emacs which gives you indentation hints, or for that matter an editor like xxe which writes the XML for you. Do keep in mind that the vast majority of I-Ds are for other members of the IETF, not for the RFC editor. Like any other editor, the RFC editor knows a lot about spelling and grammar, and about maintaining a consistent document style, but not much about the technical content of each RFC. The nice thing about xml2rfc is that it lets authors mark the meaningful semantics, e..g., this is a section, that is a subsection, this is a table, that is a figure, without having to worry about editorial stuff like page breaks, headers and footers, line lengths, and parallel use of gerunds.
