Using NROFF my have cut the time RFC editor's time but it would have such a
crippled tool would have increased our development time tremendously.

Ned,
In response, I think you will find that our more recent documents have
become shorter (but instead more of them).
I think you failed to reveal to us that doing the drafts in NROFF could have
cut the IESG/RFC Editor process with some 12 months or so...

I've found that things move a lot quicker when (1) You provide NROFF source
to
the RFC editor and (2) The documents are relatively short and use relatively
simple typographical conventions. I believe the BEEP documents met all of
these criteria.
I pointed this out to the IPP WG at one point but was told that this wasn't
an
option for IPP documents.
