Hi. I realize it is very late, probably too late, to be complaining about this, but my clear recollection was that, when the v3 project was started, the community was promised that, while the authoritative/ canonical/ archival format would shift to the XML and fully-functional HTML and PDF format (not just HTML and PDF produced from plain text forms) would become available, the plain text format would be preserved sufficiently that tools [1] that were designed for, and used with, RFCs for the last 40-odd years would continue to work and work equally well [2].
FWIW, I also recall this promise, at least being made verbally. I hope it's not too late to fix this. Keith
