It depends. The xml2rfc vocabulary can be extended (custom extensions, 
or V3), and one can use this stuff by running a preprocessor for plain 
text generation. kramdown-rfc2629 however can not produce these elements 
(yet).

Try to generate what we have in

   https://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc7230.html

and you'll see what I mean...
