Yes and no. If so many authors we not using it, then xml2rfc would not be important to the RFC Production Center. There are many tools used by I-D authors, including nroff/troff/groff, NroffEdit, MS Word templates, LaTex, and a plethora of editors. The IETF cannot take on every tool that seems popular. In this case, the RFC Production Center will become more effective, and that represents a return on the investment, and it will also help many I-D authors.
