You're right, and I noticed all of that.

What made this mysterious to me was why I failed to see my 
submissions get announced for some time.  I never got any official 
feedback so I began to assume that the nits tool was the official 
word.  After all, one recommendation was to just use the XML2RFC tool 
and not bother interpreting the requirements.

Apparently my draft did finally get announced - although I haven't 
checked to see which version came out.  (I.e., which -00, differing 
in boilerplates.)  What I'm trying to vent here is a plea to make the 
instructions for submitting a draft a bit clearer, for instance, 
recommend a run of the nits tool and also say whether or not the nits 
tool's assessment is binding or not.
