It’s 2019.  It’d be nice if it wasn’t just me supporting Word for RFCs. The output could still print/dump to XML with IETF-specific tags.

All my code is on GitHub and MIT License. It supports use of Word to generate RFCs in TXT or HTML.

The only downside right now is that it has been on hiatus for 18 months while I wait for a final set of IETF tooling to interface to.

I plan to set it up so that it can read HTML and recover the structure so documents should round trip.

The basic concept is that if you have four people editing a document they will want at least four editing tools to be supported. So it should be possible for Alice to write in word, hand it to Bob who converts it to markdown and so on.
