[Rfc-markdown] DOI.* references semibroken

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

As part of the migration away from the tools.ietf.org servers, a new bib.ietf.org service has been set up.
Kramdown-rfc switched to the new service with 1.6.12, on 2022-06-27.

Unfortunately, it turns out there are heavy regressions with DOI.* references.
5 days before I-D deadline is not the best time to deal with this.

If that problem hits you:
As a workaround, you can manually use the command line tool doilit to generate YAML that can be copy-pasted into the YAML header references list.

doilit 10.1145/2975159 > foo.yaml
Then update the label that defaults to “a”, or use
doilit -h=JUPITER 10.1145/2975159 > foo.yaml
to set it from the command line.

In my copious free time, I plan to issue an emergency update of kramdown-rfc that does not use bib.ietf.org for DOI.*.
Of course, I don’t know how quickly this then will be picked up on author-tools.ietf.org, so the timing before IETF 114 is going to be unfortunate in any case.
