Right.  I see you're using Python 3.8; the current test suite only runs
the tests on Py27, Py35, Py36, and Py37.  I expect to start running Py38
tests when I remove Py27 support in January.  I'll fix this at that time,
at the latest.

Mmm.  Pypi points at the home page https://tools.ietf.org/tools/xml2rfc/trac/,
which has an entry 'New ticket' in the menubar.  But I'll add text on the page,
too.


Thanks for the alert!
