[xml2rfc-dev] RFC 7991 issue #40: Schema Issue, RFC 7991, New Section 2.54.2

[[e-mail]]

This captures an issue noted during implementation, also described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-levkowetz-xml2rfc-v3-implementation#section-3.1.5

---
New Section 2.54.2

   The version 3 schema deprecates the previously available 'align'
   attribute for the tables, and the V2 to V3 converter will remove this
   attributes if used.  This makes a previous feature that was appreciated
   by some authors unavailable.  In the text formatter, the effect is
   simply to make all tables left-aligned, which may not be the most
   readable and polished output, but for the HTML formatter it also
   potentially removes the option of letting text flow around smaller
   tables in a controlled way.

   Recommendation:  Make the 'align' attribute for tables available again.

   Implementation:  Implemented but inactive in the current version of
                    xml2rfc.  The current text formatter code already has
                    support for the 'align' attribute for these elements;
                    but since the schema does not permit the attribute for
                    <table>, the code is never invoked.
