OK, I managed to fix the submission. My mistake was to submit both a
text document and an XML document. Since the xml2rfc editor used by the
submission tool produces a slightly different format than the xml2rfc
online tool, this generated nits. Probably the results of some recent
change. Anyhow, I fixed the submission by submitting only the XML
document. That appeared to be working.
