We have done so:
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rswg-xml2rfcv3-implemented/
On the mechanical side, this is not really a WG document because the Datatracker doesn't know about the Editorial stream, so we might need to do a new naming with draft-editorial-rswg-... at some point. Also, xml2rfc does not accept a stream of "editorial" yet, so we said "IETF" even though that is very definitely a lie.

The diff from the last draft can be seen here:
   https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-irse-draft-irse-xml2rfcv3-implemented-03&url2=draft-rswg-xml2rfcv3-implemented-00&difftype=--html

Regardless, the draft is there. The WG (hopefully with the help of the chairs) will make a final determination about:
- Will this become an RFC, a perma-draft, or a draft encapsulated in carbonite somewhere
- Will there be a 3.1 that has certain restrictions
- Will there be a 4.0 that has no restictions
