ditto. opening it is xmlspy, I got a message "file cannot be validated: 
unable to locate external dtd, schema, or entity source 'rfc-index.xsd'". I 
assume that means that it ran out on the net but didn't find the schema 
file. But it was able to understand the file, I guess.

I compared the xml2rfc RFC reference library to the RFC descriptions in 
your file, and it looks like the necessary data is there. Your is more 
complete, and for bibliographic purposes I think it is an improvement.

                <abstract>Crediting loyalty points and collecting digital 
coupons or gift certificates are common functions in purchasing and trading 
transactions.  These activities can be generalized using the concept of a 
"voucher", which is a digital representation of the right to claim goods or 
services.  This document presents a Voucher Trading System (VTS) that 
circulates vouchers securely and its terminology; it lists design 
principles and requirements for VTS and the Generic Voucher Language (GVL), 
with which diverse types of vouchers can be described.</abstract>
