Datatracker does not provide access to the XML version of drafts once they have become RFC. This may have never ben the case, but it was provided for on tools.ietf.org, so users could easily access XML of drafts via their tools.ietf.org web page. Since this year, those URLs redirect to datatracker, where this is not possible anymore.
Example:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane/27/
There is no link to the XML of this document to be found on this page. Nevertheless, it does of course exist:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-27.xml
Note that this problem only applies to documents that have turned RFC. Before they are RFC, dataracker correctly shows the XML links, e.g.:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-16
The html'ized renderings of RFC since the new RFC formatting are missing hotlinks from the section numbers in the TOC to the sections. The tags for those missing hotlinks still exist, and the section titles still use them.
Example:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8994
Table of Contents
1. Introduction (Informative)
^^ No hotlink
Compare to older RFC:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7994
Table of Contents
1. Introduction .................................2
^^ Hotlink
These hotlinks would be the only option to navigate from TOC to a section in question.
