I use bap from time to time. Unfortunately AFAIK it is barely 
maintained. After I finished RFC7405 I asked Bill Fenner about 
incorporating support for it in bap. He was very hard to reach. I then 
implemented the necessary updates to bap and submitted a pull request. 
But it was never acted upon. I eventually just gave up.

I'd really like to have better support for ABNF in the draft pipeline. 
Ideally ABNF checking would be an automatic part of the process. 
Unfortunately it is hard to do well. Much ABNF in drafts/RFCs has 
dependencies on ABNF in some other document, and those dependencies are 
stated informally so that it takes manual processing to prepare 
something that can be fully checked by bap. If/how to resolve this needs 
discussion and then probably some implementation work.

	Thanks,
	Paul
