It sure works for me.

I do want to fix the way the filenames are derived (too much scaredy-cat programming at the moment), and then we can go and check this on a wider scale.

(I would expect the source-code blocks of all 8650+ RFCs to be on the web ready for consumption, as well as on rsync.
For I-Ds, I would people to go with the tool.)
