The SOW says:

g. Document Format Conversions
1) Accept as input ascii text files and publish documents as ascii text
files,postscript files, and pdf files

2) Accept supplemental source files that may contain information such
as: code, formal descriptions (XML, ASN.1, etc.) graphics, data files, etc.

3) Publish documents as ascii text, postscript, and pdf files

It is possible that the IETF will at some time in the future migrate
to an input format other than ASCII text. Please can we
amend the SOW to:

a) Allow the IETF to experiment with the production of RFCs
based on text formats other than ASCII text.

b) Allow the IETF the ability to introduce at some time in the
future an alternative input format to ASCII text if it so chooses.
