The RFC 7386/7396 accident was also caused by this (root cause was
apparently the use of HT characters, which need to be expunged from
the universe, but rfcdiff helped in not detecting the problem before
publication).

rfc2629.xslt has been warning about HTAB since 2014-10-16 (likely
triggered by that accident). xml2rfc has a ticket open about that:
<https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/xml2rfc/trac/ticket/403> (dated
2019-04-14, still in status "new").
...
FWIW, rfc2629.xslt used to output the HTAB into the HTML content; this
is now changed, it will place a (red) U+2409 character instead - that
should make it easier to spot the issue in the source (see
<https://github.com/reschke/xml2rfc/commit/58dca914d1489f25b4be8220c30e13f1cb23e46e>).
Best regards, Julian
