[rfc-i] [IAB] draft-hoffman-rfcexamples-04, "3. Example of a v3 Document"

[jhildebr at cisco.com (Joe Hildebrand (jhildebr))]

Just expand all of the entity refs, and put the expansions in the v3.  This has to be done before any of the other translations, in case included entities generate old-style XML.

This is the only way to not lose information, and to make sure that all of the included bits have been translated.  If the document is too large at that point, the author can go back in and create x:includes as desired.
