FWIW, I've never been able to get xml3rfc to run on any of my computers. Something horrible usually happens in the process of getting the TCL stuff working. So, I just use the on-line one at http://xml.resource.org/ Getting groff to run, on the other hand, has been fairly easy on every platform I've tried. ... > With most I-Ds you can tell when authors are using xml2rfc instead > of NRoffEdit, because the documents often contain awkward page breaks > positionas within sections such as Authors and References and more > typos. It's easier to control widows / orphans / page breaks with nroff, but I don't usually worry about them because I know the RFC editor is going to fine-tune the layout anyway.
