Well, there's clearly some sort of disconnect here, because every I-D I've submitted for the past decade or more has required hours of fiddling with xml with arbitrary rules, and boilerplate with arcane rules, and responding to meaningless error messages, usually with a deadline looming, iterating until a miracle happens and the document is actually accepted. I realize that it's not strictly necessary to write I-Ds using xml2rfc but I've been of the impression that the same rules are enforced either way. So maybe this is a tools problem or a web site problem rather than a rules problem, but I think there's some sort of problem there. Keith
