[JM] I believe that RFC 7991 "The "xml2rfc" Version 3 Vocabulary" is meant here rather than RFC 7990 "RFC Format Framework". > > - If necessary, we can also update the I-D to make consensus changes > to the as-is version on an "emergency" basis, though hopefully > this will not be needed often. [JM] (With my RPC hat on) I'd like to clarify this point. A definition of "emergency" here would be that the RPC cannot publish an RFC because of an XML issue. The RPC would consult with RPAT on technical aspects and take the issue to RSAB. The emergency would be handled by RSAB and the RPC. Does the following capture the RSWG procedure? If the resolution of the emergency caused any changes to the XML vocabulary, then the RSWG would handle those changes like the other XML changes: capture it in the I-D and label it as provisional. The RSWG would then discuss and adopt the change or move it to the appendix. This part of the process can happen later; that is, the publication of an RFC does not wait on the RSWG's discussion and labeling of any changes. Also hoping that this will be a rare thing.
