OK for the existing stuff but why not for the future, such as "Starting 1 Jan 2007, every RFC submission must be done in 2629"? > there are many people desiring some of the word processor features > (track changes, etc...) that are just not found in the xml authoring > tools. Well, you certainly know that XML is a format, not a program :-) So, at least in theory, you could use OpenOffice and still producing 2629 (providing someone wrote a XSL transformation from OpenDocument to 2629). Not obvious, I know, but a possible path. For the specific feature you mention, I use version control system with XML, I do not see the problem. Tools like Subversion even allow you to specify an external diff so you can use a XML-aware diff to see the changes. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
