i wish we had a mailing list for discussing xml2rfc arcana. :) fwiw, i am trying a few other tools. the problem is that a bespoke toolchain, which is well maintained by competent engineers who are also users, is gonna do the job better than a repurposed general purpose tool. when the xml haters' replacement tools actually get significant mindshare, maybe they can move to the high road. though attack marketing seems to be popular these years, at least in the states. the apocrypha is that sendmail.cf was not meant for human consumption or editing. it was to be a compiler intermediate. randy, who klutzes through xml2rfc with emacs 26
