Hi all,

[JM] The RPC may need to update artwork and sourcecode (or ask the
authors to update) to ensure that they fit within the column limit set
by xml2rfc.
The RPC validates four types of sourcecode: YANG, MIB, XML, and ABNF.
The RPC formats and validates YANG modules using pyang [1]. The RPC will
also check and update the formatting of ABNF so that it can be validated
with bap [2].
Best regards,

From the
perspective of an author, any other reformatting makes it significantly
harder to do reviews in AUTH48. Speaking from recent experience.

That's exactly what the RPC does today.
If the author hasn't used NSNL, then ANY diff the RPC produces is
going to be
harder to view. In order to minimize that, they could do NSNL in their
editing. Whether or not they reformat EVERYTHING is another question.
