I am finally switching a draft from artwork to trying to properly use 
sourcecode.

I see that in the html rendering, there is really no difference?  I have 
<![CDATA[ ]]> inside them.

I see that the name attribute is not used by xml2rfc, but there for 
other processes that might like to use it.

What I am looking for right now is a way to copy the source code at 
least to the clipboard.  Some 4 years ago I did this with java script:

http://medon.htt-consult.com/CentOS7-armv7.html

You will see I have two modes, just select the text or actually copy the 
text to the clipboard.

It also supports horizontal scrolling in the textbox.

In  http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html

You will see vertical scrolling support which might be more of value to 
large sourcecode blocks.

It seems this could be a nice addition to the html draft rendering. It 
DOES use java scripting.

And I really hacked this together until I got something that worked well 
enough for me.  I don't claim at all that it is the best way to add 
these features.
