If you have significantly more problems, then maybe you are using
the wrong tool to write I-Ds.  Try NRoffEdit.  It will take care
of many of these issues for you.  :-)

I'm it's a nice tool.

As previously mentioned, I gave up on trying to _install_ xml2rfc
one hour after downloading it.  I was writing the third page of
my I-D one hour after downloading NRoffEdit.

1) I run xml2rfc locally. The installation time was close to zero; copy a single file. That's probably because my Cygwin installation had TCL preinstalled.

2) Alternative: test locally with rfc2629.xslt (and maybe a validating XML editor), then use the web service to produce ASCII.
