reason: ABNF is used in one place:
 4.2.9.2 The "rel" Attribute, p1
and referred to in 3.3. It's incidental enough to be dropped.

I agree with this one now. The other specs use the older ABNF spec anyway.
** Figures
Please add figure captions for all samples, bnf and rnc fragments. If 
you require someone to do this, I will do it.

I'm having trouble seeing the benefit here. They might work well in the 
HTML version, but I don't think they do in the text version. Could you 
show me an example where it would help the text version?

I can look at a caption to tell me it's a rnc fragment, without doing a 
double or treble take.

There are captions in the spec anyway, just not 'marked up' as such:
[[[
 3.1.1.2  HTML
   Example atom:title with HTML content:
   ...
   <title type="html">
     Less: &lt;em> &amp;lt; &lt;/em>
   </title>
   ...
]]]
But truth be told, I see no need to justify their inclusion, any more 
than one would need to justify the inclusion of a TOC or page numbers.
