Jouni,

I think this is part of the explanation to the nits we received on
out draft. I have not checked, but it seems reasonable.

Christian,

The "bug" is that xml2rfc now inserts 
"https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/" and 
"https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info" whereas idnits checks for 
"http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/" and 
"http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info"

Cheers,
Adrian
