Since we're on the topic: I don't see bibxml files for the STD and BCP 
series available. It would be nice if the RFC Editor could create them. 
For example, it would be nice to be able to simply include 
reference.BCP.14.xml, which could contain:

   <referencegroup anchor="BCP14" 
target="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp14">
	  <xi:include 
href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/refs/bibxml/reference.RFC.2119.xml"/>
	  <xi:include 
href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/refs/bibxml/reference.RFC.8174.xml"/>
   </referencegroup>

It would save some typing.
