Well,

I'm always happy to give rfc2629.xslt new capabilities. What I'm not so
sure about is...: what's the chance that the XML source is lost, but the
HTML version is available?

I'm (still) in favor of keeping all of them.  That allows you to refer
to a specific version.  If you want to refer to the latest version,
