[xml2rfc] draft-petithuguenin-computerate-specification-00 [was Re: Fwd: I-D Action: draft-petithuguenin-xml2rfc-asciidoc-00.txt]

[Marc Petit-Huguenin <[e-mail]>]

I just submitted an I-D that explains how to write Internet-Drafts that are partially generated by code that is embedded in the source of the I-Ds:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-petithuguenin-computerate-specification/00/

Just imagine how that would make the Internet work better if the examples in an I-D were generated using verified programming, the ABNF checked for validity each time a version of a draft is submitted, or denominate numbers used to make the conversion between bits, bytes and other units or dimensions.  All of this and more is now possible with the tooling distributed with that I-D.
