Assuming you mean https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/experimental.html, yes, that's an essential tool and if it goes away I'll stop producing drafts. I have no intention of installing all that stuff on my Windows machine, even assuming it's possible.

(Not to mention https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/, but I always use the "experimental" version.)

Note that https://xml2rfc.ietf.org redirects to https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org. I assume therefore that the 30% of draft authors who use a "web service" according to Jay's recent survey actually use tools.ietf.org.

However, Robert told us:

"We will be replacing the online xml2rfc and bibxml services with modern
rewrites of the existing services."

So that's fine, as long as the extras available at the "experimental" URL
are retained.
