Re: [xml2rfc] Novice bad user on device, or Catch-22?

Hi all,

You may find some of the XML files in <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/prerelease/> helpful.  These are the v3 XML files for the RFCs before they are run through the final “prep” tool (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7998). 

I suggest reviewing some of the more recently published RFCs for better examples.  

Thanks,
Sandy
