Hi, the CELLAR WG is trying to provide a PDF file along with our v3 XML to
the datatracker.  The files are temporarily at:
    http://www.sandelman.ca/tmp/cellar/

When I try to do this, I get:

     There was a failure converting the xml file to text -- please verify
     that your xml file is valid. (Error from xml2rfc (text): 'NoneType'
     object has no attribute 'getroot')

There are warnings from the XML2RFC:
      Warning: Expected a numeric year, but found 'undated'

If I omit the XML, then of course, I get:
     Unexpected submission file types; found .pdf, but txt or xml is required

because I need to upload something with the PDF.

So I upload .txt file that I generated, and that worked.

Summary: xml-v3 + PDF fails.
         txt + PDF works.
         PDF alone fails (expected)

(Except that we needed to do -10 rather than -09, so meta-data error)
