I have no objection to publishing this document, but the fact that it is needed is a clear indication that the RFC series has failed to keep up with the needs of its consumers. Hopefully the new RSE will be able to address this disconnect, among others.

The IESG has received a request from the Network Modeling WG (netmod) to
consider the following document: - 'Handling Long Lines in Inclusions in
Internet-Drafts and RFCs'
<draft-ietf-netmod-artwork-folding-07.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2019-08-13. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
This document defines two strategies for handling long lines in
width-bounded text content. One strategy is based on the historic
use of a single backslash ('\') character to indicate where line-
folding has occurred, with the continuation occurring with the first
non-space (' ') character on the next line. The second strategy
extends the first strategy by adding a second backslash character to
identify where the continuation begins and thereby able to handle
cases not supported by the first strategy. Both strategies use a
self-describing header enabling automated reconstitution of the
original content.
