Anyone have any suggestions for how I can use xml2rfc-xxe to generate
the necessary XML so that, when run through the on-line tool at
xml.resource.org, I get the Feb 15 boilerplate with the clause about
pre-Nov 10 text?

afaict the way to do it is what Brian Carpenter suggested -- you still
need to insert a "note" in the xml immediately before <abstract>

<note title=""><t>Blah blah disclaimer blah blah</t></note>

Hi Scott:

How do you get the new Feb 15 standard boilerplate?
Right now, I have selected "full3978" in the "IPR" pull-down menu.
Is there a version of xxe that allows new IPR options?

You don't, as far as I know. I'm hoping one of the volunteers will
reply with good news.

I'm going to release an update shortly with the new DTD, but if you
can find the xxe addon directory (~/.xxe4/addon in MacOS and Linux,
somewhere under your settings directory on Windows) you can replace
the dtd file found in the xml2rfc addon with the one shipped with the
newer xml2rfc version and use the new values in the pulldown.

There is not yet an xml2rfc release with the February 2009 IPR; it was
just ready for release but then the desired location of the IPR
statement changed late last night so we'll have to re-respin.

Please clarify ... we can snatch the DTD from the new xml2rfc release
with the February 2009 IPR, and stick it in your addon directory, _when_
the new xml2rfc release becomes available, but it's not available yet?
