Although rfc 7991 is somewhat unclear on this point, we only allow text and SVG in artwork, not anything else. |

We would simply like to use the same mechanism that for example rfc7893 uses
to include PNG graphics.

This is a reasonable idea for an enhancement in the future.

As you are surely aware, RFC 7893 was a one-off using the old toolchain. |

No, i am not aware. Can you please point me to the IETF policies and
when they changed ? Last i was aware, it was welcome to produce the
highest visual quality RFCs, including PNG images into PDF renderings.
It seems counterproductive if that option was eliminated by new rules.

Oh, my. You can start with RFCs 7990, 7991, 7992, 7993, 7994, 7995, 7996, 7997, and 7998. Particularly 7996. |

To be clear, I think PNG is a reasonable candidate as an enhancement, give or take accessibility issues, but it's not going to happen any time soon. |

When trying to embed a PNG or JPG image, e.g., like this:
xml2rfc
version 3.11.1 fails like this:This may be due to a bug in
xml2rfc
or some Python 3 hick-upand appears related to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27219301/utf-8-codec-cant-decode-byte-0x89
A workaround is to use a graphics file in SVG format, yet it may be hard to obtain
and
xml2rfc
appears pretty picky about the structure of the SVG input.What worked best for me was to convert/save the source graphics in PDF format
and then use https://www.zamzar.com/convert/pdf-to-svg/
