Re: [rfc-i] The upcoming transition to xml2rfc v3

Will the RFC Editor potentially be editing output to make the v3 vocabulary look cleaner?  I know of a kramdown file that is having some formatting problems, at least in part due to how it is creating the xml file.

Subject: [rfc-i] The upcoming transition to xml2rfc v3

Greetings,

With the RFC format transition approaching quickly, we want to share some of the transition details.  

The RFC Editor will be switching to using xml2rfc v3 [0] [1] [2] to create RFCs. (Authors do not have to change what they submit as an
Internet-Draft.)

There will be new publication formats (HTML, PDF, and text) and an XML source file, which uses the v3 vocabulary as described in [3] and [4]. 

Next week the RFC Editor's code base and database will be updated.
From 16 September 2019, the RFC Editor will be ready to publish in the new format.  See the transition details [6] for more information.  

For more details on why this change is taking place, see the "RFC Format Framework” [5]. 

* How does this affect you?  
Please see the transition details page [6], especially if you currently have a document in the RFC Editor queue [7].

* What if you find a bug in xml2rfc? 
Please add a ticket to the issue tracker [8] or send mail to the xml2rfc-dev list [9].
