Yes.
The RFC editor has FFV1 in AUTH48.  They have edited our *XML* directly to
put it into their format, which ignores our history of creating it via mmark
and some of the table driven efforts.

Dave seemed to trying to bring our XML (via mmark) into sync with what the
RFC-editor was doing.  I worried that Dave was expending a lot of effort
here.

Most WGs do not attempt to bring their "source" code inline with what the
RFC-editor produces.  The XML goes into the RFC-editor, and is transformed,
and that's that.
For WGs that have edited in XML, one can get the XML from from the rfc-editor
at the end, and just go with that if one will do a "bis" in a few years.

Dave pointed out that the things that the editor was doing would also apply
to ffv1-v4!  Ah, I say, GOOD POINT.

I would say that at this point, the ffv1 (not-v4) direction is dead.
We shouldn't think that we can make changes that matter to that direction.
