I have successfully used
  https://github.com/tomaszmrugalski/nroff2xml

to convert from RFC3779 to http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-richardson-6tisch-idevid-cert/.
Tomasz created this for RFC3315bis, on which I also worked, and the result
was very useable.  We had to fix up some tables and inline ascii art, but
that was all.

To do this, you need to get the nroff from the RFC-editor, which they
have for everything.
