I don’t know about 90 % of what, but here’s my statistics of the last 300 days of I-D submissions:

$ find ~/std/id/ -name \*.xml -mtime -300 | wc
    3213    3213  189521
$ find ~/std/id/ -name \*.xml -mtime -300 | xargs grep -l kramdown | wc
     925     925   53698

More like: 29 % of the I-Ds submitted as XML show that they are kramdown-generated.

This simplistic method doesn’t see the drafts that are still being submitted as text (some of which are generated by kramdown-rfc, but then there is Word, nroff, …).  It also counts submissions (revisions), not distinct drafts.
But it is still a useful indicator (*).

Grüße, Carsten
