It is mostly straightforward to obtain markdown format from an existing RFC or 
similar formatted text, and I have used this to manually compile input from 
various sources into one I-D.

Doing this in a fully automatic way would probably need some more heuristics, 
e.g., for cross-reference management.  We already have some of these heuristics 
in the programs we use to display RFCs in web pages.

Exercise left to the reader ;-)
