Greetings again. Many weeks ago, before the <u> and <bcp14> semantics discussions started, Jay Daley proposed a way forward for the formats at:
   https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rswg/gspp4uvuqkNEnwzAyyrazSkEwOE

The proposal got a reasonable amount of support, so I have updated my personal draft draft-hoffman-rfc-format-framework-as-implemented to reflect it. The new version is here:
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hoffman-rfc-format-framework-as-implemented/

Note that I'm updating my draft to Jay's proposal because the WG seems to like the proposal, not because I do. I'm trying to keep my document in line with what the WG wants in case the WG wants to adopt a "way forward" document. (My personal preference would be to publish draft-irse-draft-irse-xml2rfcv3-implemented as an RFC and then work only on v4.)

Comments are welcome. If what I have put here doesn't match what people expected from Jay's proposal, or if tweaks are desired, it is easy for me to keep revving this. If there is a desire to adopt this as a WG work item, that's great, but we will have to wait for the xml2rfc tool to be updated to allow Editorial track drafts.
