Hi Carsten,

Sorry for the delay in responding to this.

I don't know why the split exist.  It looks as if the bibxml2 IEEE items
haven't been updated since 2013, bibxml6 since 2015.  I have a dim
recollection of looking into that some years ago, and discovering that
the web resource used to populate one of these had stopped being
maintained.

In the long run, rather than trying to patch up the old TCL scripts,
I would prefer to build new bibxml generation infrastructure on
www.ietf.org or datatracker.ietf.org.

For now, I'll happily copy the bibxml2 IEEE entries to bibxml6.

Shall I do so?


Best regards,

	Henrik

I can’t switch that over to bibxml6, as the bibxml2 references are in use in existing documents, e.g. for IEEE 754.  Why are we even doing this splitting up?  90 % of the files are in bibxml3 anyway.)
