Could you elaborate a bit more on this one? e.g., some example (so that we can understand better what you mean)... and if you can think of anything that might be done to improve things in this respect, that would also be nice. > But the other big > barrier to entry is the draft upload tools.

FWIW, we have already started to work on a revision of the draft (working copy at: https://github.com/fgont/diversity/blob/main/draft-gont-diversity-analysis-01.txt), and this is what we currently have in the Section 8.2 of the upcoming rev: ---- cut here ---- 8.2. Difficulty in Authoring and Submitting Internet-Drafts There are so many formatting rules that an Internet-Draft (and eventually an RFC) needs to comply to, that in practice the only reasonable way create and submit an Internet-Draft is via the set of tools available at: https://tools.ietf.org/ . Tools such as xml2rfc are of a lot of help to produce documents that comply with the Internet-Draft formatting rules -- but its error messages might result cryptic to the unexperienced user. The number of tools has expanded so much that they probably deserve their own guidelines. And existing guidelines such as [ID-Guidelines] should probably be updated with the assumption that Internet-Drafts will be produced with the set of available tools. This means that e.g. it becomes less important to the Internet- Draft author what formatting rules a document needs to comply to, since the existing tools will guarantee such compliance. On the other hand, an author may benefit from guidelines on how to use the set of available tools. ---- cut here ---- Is there anything you'd suggest adding to it? > In any case, I shall join the gendispatch group to discuss further! Please do, but also feel free to discuss it here if you wish, too. Thanks a lot!
