Hi Paul,

Thanks for that. A few comments:

- The document uses the word 'framework' at a frequency that becomes distracting. I know that's the term that 7990 uses, but I think it would be *much* more readable if you used alternative terminology at least sometimes -- e.g., 'plan'.

- "Instead, this document describes the expected progression to version 4 of the XML grammar and semantics." -- that seems a bit strong; I think it lays out potential paths forward, not yet expectations.

- The document title isn't relevant any more. How about "Status of the XML2RFC Format"?

Cheers,

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.)

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.
