Re: [jose] [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC7515 (4554)

[Kathleen Moriarty <[e-mail]>]

Hi Megan,

How will they know to add this text back in without the Hold for
Document Update?  I'm afraid removing this will cause trouble down the
road as opposed to leaving it the way I had marked it unless a held
version is corrected.

Thanks,
Kathleen

Unfortunately, the RFCmarkup tool that's used to produce the HTML that's posted based on the .txt version has heuristics that are wrong.  Does anyone know how Simon can instead file a bug against RFCmarkup?  (And to people know whether the plan is to drop using RFCmarkup once the RFC evolution changes roll out?)
