But, part of the question is, how does one do this with just XML.
As wonderful as kramdown is, and it's always my preference, sometimes it is
hard to convince a design team that has started on XML to go that way.
(sunk cost fallacy, etc.)

I looked at Kent's XIAX repo documentation, and what I saw was that it might
take XML as input, paste the YANG in, but leave enough meta-data in the XML so 
that
the XML can be processed again.  So this is an in-place edit.  I worry that
such a workflow would be confusing to some authors who might edit in the
wrong place.

Kent, I didn't look extensively at that repo you said to clone.

As to editing in YIN, which is an XML syntax way to represent
YANG.... well... I don't mind if someone wants to store YANG that way, but I
sure don't want to edit that way.

So at this point, the best I can do is to bring my "insert-figures" hack into
a repo, rename the XML to another name, and generate draft-foobar.xml in the
top-Makefile.
