XML2RFC has improved in this regard, e.g., it allows inclusion
of pictures for the HTML version. But I do not think even the
latest version generates .pdf nor does it appear to produce
very pretty output from xml->html->pdf. Though your favorite
XML editing tool may provide some solution for that. Nevertheless,
I've had good success in running xml->nr->pdf, but that requires
some tuning of the nroff output -- this is what the tool link that
I posted earlier does, without requiring the user to do any
extra steps or having any software beyond what regular unix
systems do by default.
