Re: [Tools-discuss] .txt? [I-D Action: draft-xxx.txt]

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

Well, let me ask it another way.

Why aren't we actively encouraging people to submit xml2rfcv3 source, and rewarding those who do so with a message that makes it clear that this is what we prefer?

I accidentally submitted xml2rfcv2 source the other day, and the system just sucked it in without even pointing out that it was so 20th century.

I hope that the various tool updates we've been promised will firmly nudge people towards v3.
