Hi all,

I drafted a pull request at https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFV1/pull/135 <https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFV1/pull/135> which upgrades from the use of xml2rfc version 2 (with mmark and xml2rfc) to xml2rfc version 3. The pull request addresses some changes to accommodate this while preserving the semantics as some markdown features we used are no longer supported in the new xml2rfc. Version 3 also supports svg images for representation of mathematical formula. Thus the Makefile requires some new dependencies in pdfcrop and pdf2svg in order to produce embeddable svg images.

A representation of the HTML RFC output is available at https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dericed/5ce9c949eeec9042a4ac5e2b222f1cc0/raw/b315b8d3f5c4b06ecf656fc1fb7e9ad9bd6fd88c/draft-ietf-cellar-ffv1-06.html <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dericed/5ce9c949eeec9042a4ac5e2b222f1cc0/raw/b315b8d3f5c4b06ecf656fc1fb7e9ad9bd6fd88c/draft-ietf-cellar-ffv1-06.html>. I haven’t seen rfc2xml version 3 much used in IETF yet though so am uncertain of how this impacts or will impact the document management process.

Comments welcome.
