There are IEEE citation files both in bibxml2 and bibxml6.
Is there a way to automatically decide with one to use?
Could the bibxml2 files maybe be copied over to bibxml6 so we can always use bibxml6 for IEEE?

(kramdown-rfc currently uses bibxml2 for IEEE; there is currently no easy way to access bibxml6.  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.)
