This is a *given*. The DFDG would have to be written along with the lines
of the DFSG, that will NOT allow RFCs, nor GFDL invariant docs.
We may have *exceptions* later ("we accept DFDG-compliant docs, plus
distributable documents that match the following criteria....") that would
allow a certain set of documents that do not follow the DFDG in. Whether
that set will include GFDL docs, GFDL docs with invariant sections,
completely invariant non-GFDL docs (RFCs, w3c standards), or *some* of those
documents according to some criteria is something to be seen.
