Yow! I know that not everyone likes xml2rfc, but I don't even want to think about nroff. ...
Clarifying: the reason why I'm researching is that apparently some people think it would be good to have a replacement for xml2rfc.tcl that *emits* nroff (only - as opposed to plain text/nroff/html as the TCL code does today).
