It would be no abuse to store documentation into TER. It's always a
question of appropriate categories and filtering.

If that doesn't work well, it's not a big problem to store RFC extensions
into an indipendent system, I guess.

The strengths of NG are discussion, not conception. They are hasty be nature.

There are several advantages to use one extension for each RFC.

* versioning
* distribution
* automatic HTML display of manual.sxw
* example code easy to run as extension
* sql tables and data
* every kind of attachment files like UML diagrams can be shipped
