I've inherited a draft in this markdown format.

It seems to try to reference a section using:

 	({{rfcxxxx}}, Section x.y)

but that seems to not work? And this says you cannot do it:

 	https://github.com/cabo/kramdown-rfc/issues/21

Also, I can't find how to add a draft as reference. One would expect
that {{draft-ietf-foobar}} would work, but it doesn't.

I checked the examples/ dir and couldn't find examples either.

If there is documentation anywhere about the format, I would be
happy to read it.
