However, there appears to be a downside to this system: I don't see any convenient way to generate clean XML sources. The XML format does indeed have some very strong advantages: multiple output format generation, consistent formatting of output forms, and ease of addition to citation indexes of Internet Drafts. As I said before, I'm quite willing to give write access to the SVN repository to the others working on this document, which would have the added benefit of maintaining a complete revision history, so that if a change is made that we later agree is undesirable, it's very easy to revert it. Complete, dated history also provides protection for all of the contributors and the product if there is ever a patent dispute. Philip Miller
