For the spf-eai draft I got oddities such as [havoc] instead of
(section x.y) with the experimental xml2rfc tool in -05, with the
release tool in -06 it was okay.  IOW, just use the online release
xml2rfc tool before wasting time with temporary manual workarounds:

Maybe it is only me, but figuring out the length limitations wrt IDNA
or here SMTP addresses is tricky.  If you don't want to talk about it
here maybe don't mention VERP.  The cases where it fits are "simple"
for concepts of "simple" = as in the "S" of SMTP.
