Using XML for RFCs

[August 17, 2001] 'Writing I-Ds and RFCs using XML' is an informational RFC which "presents a technique for using XML (Extensible Markup Language) as a source format for documents in the Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) and Request for Comments (RFC) series..."

[August 17, 2001] xml2rfc -- Mailing list for software packages implementing rfc2629. Send email to xml2rfc@lists.xml.resource.org. See the reference page: "A handy little tool, xml2rfc, will allow you to take your XML source and see how the results look like in the original ASCII look-and-feel or the new modern HTML rendition of that look-and-feel. You can download xml2rfc as a zip or tgz file, or try your results in this handy converter form [...] In theory, the nroff output is suitable for input to the RFC editor. In addition, there is a directory that contains bibliographic summaries of each RFC, suitable for including in your input..." IETF Network Working Group Request for Comments 2629 "Writing I-Ds and RFCs using XML" was written by Marshall Rose. The specification "presents a technique for using XML (Extensible Markup Language) as a source format for documents in the Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) and Request for Comments (RFC) series..."

[July 02, 2000] Writing I-Ds and RFCs using XML was published as an IETF Network Working Group Internet-Draft (draft-mrose-writing-rfcs-00.txt) in the 'informational' category. Date: February 1999, Expires: August 02, 1999. The author is Marshall T. Rose (Invisible Worlds, Inc.). The memo "describes how to write a document for the I-D and RFC series using the Extensible Markup Language (XML). The memo has three goals: 1) To describe a simple XML Document Type Definition (DTD) that is powerful enough to handle the simple formatting requirements of RFC-like documents whilst allowing for meaningful markup of descriptive qualities; 2) To describe software that processes XML source files, including a tool that produces documents conforming to RFC 2223, HTML format, and so on; 3) To provide the proof-of-concept for the first two goals (this memo was written using this DTD and produced using that software)."

The Mappa.Mundi project also created an RFC XML DTD.
