One of the authors in CELLAR who is using XML v3 says:

It seems that we ought to be generating the HTML and PDF from the v3 using
XML2RFC directly rather than going XML->TXT->HTML{->PDF}.

This is no doubt because the DT still depends upon the tools.ietf page for
HTML version.   As such, nobody can see the nicer versions of output.

What is the plan?
(Is this work contracted somewhere?)
