The size of the boilerplate alone precludes that, unfortunately. And it gets worse next month when the secretariat stops accepting "he" (or "she", as the case may be) as an alternative to "he or she" in that boilerplate. I don't understand this point, can you expound on it for those of us that don't know about it? cheers, James *** Truth is not to be argued... it is to be presented ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf

I would not be surprised if xml2rfc eventually has native preprocessing capabilities (i.e., macros). Virtually any large document and many small ones need them.
