It seems that I've been version-trapped.
Version 4.9 (the last free version I have) is no longer able to install
the xml2rfc extension.
And I have had my homedir path moved, which means that somehow the old
extension doesn't work any more, despite having copies at both the old
path and the new place.
Am I lost?

Harald,
You're not completely trapped. You could buy an XXE Pro Edition licence. Or maybe your employer is a bit hard-up at the moment ;)
There is an argument that some IETF work is for the common good. However, who should pay towards the development and upkeep of a good XML editor towards the common good? XMLMind, or the users of XMLMind?
Surely, even an individual IETF contributor can't expect a right to free tools when they choose to make IETF contributions. Similarly, we don't get free flights to attend IETF meetings, or free Internet access because we're working on IETF stuff.
