There's a rfc2629bis at/as http://xml.resource.org/authoring/draft-mrose-writing-rfcs.html

Is there anything you feel that's not covering? (I agree much of http://xml.resource.org/authoring/draft-mrose-writing-rfcs.html#anchor19 is now in such common usage a formal I-D submission would be useful).


Zero time spent going to an editable format is better than any amount

I'm in agreement 99%.

I just think we've accumulated a lot of working experience with XML editing forms both in the IETF and elsewhere, and it'd be useful to attempt to consolidate that at this point in time before moving to full adoption.
