Yes: The <rfc version=“3”…  attribute.

The surprising behavior of the submission interface has been confusing people trying to upload drafts during this transition, to no end.

The submission interface should allow specifying that an XML source being submitted is intended for v3 processing (and needs to be converted using --v2v3 if that attribute is missing).

(Kramdown-rfc’s kdrfc command line tool now has a -c flag, which adds generating a .v2v3.xml that is useful for submission; the “normal” way to run kdrfc before submission now is with -ch3 flags.)
