Hi,

There's a ticket open for xml2rfc that starts:

>  Because RFCs now have DOI numbers, the reference sections in RFCs are now
>  supposed to include DOIs for all references for which they have been
>  assigned...

I don't see why that follows. Has the RFC Editor actually got a policy on this?

It isn't a trivial requirement to support this automatically in xml2rfc (or
to insert manually, for that matter).
