[rfc-i] Re: troff/nroff macros for RFCs and I-Ds

Hi -

It looked really good, but on the examples (what we call
<figure><artwork> using the older method), you seem to loose
your left margin.  Was that intention?

This sounds like the general area.  Independent submissions don't
necessarily have such severe caveats if the iesg feels it is
somewhat relevant.  And, since developing more nroff/troff
macros sounds like pretty close to the core rfc-editor work,
an independent submission wouldn't necessarily be inappropriate.
(You could try and get a working group, but you'd probably have
to start with a "Future of CSTR54++ BOF".)
