Re: [Tools-discuss] updated Word template and tools

[Brian E Carpenter <[e-mail]>]

Joe,

I don't see the analogy with any BCPs - they are rules, whereas
xml2rfc, your template, and the various nroff templates still around
are just tools - very useful tools - but are they archival material?

I would ask the same question of RFC2629 if it came up today; in fact
it's out of date, which sort of proves my point. I'm sure there are other
RFCs that are also in this class. That's why we invented IONs, in fact.
