Hi again,

We believe we have found a workaround to get the text to display as expected.  
You can see the details here: 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rpat/U0cMkxnPVmk5gcH5dz7LUbStUWU/
We are waiting a few more days to understand if there are better alternatives.

As this workaround required the use of <br>, we noticed some other 
unconventional uses of <br> that were reintroduced into the XML during AUTH48.  
Please review the following updates in 
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9676br.txt>: 

a) Section 2.1, example for "jurisdiction-unit” - we removed the use of <br> in 
the example.

b) Section 8 - we combined the ABNF into one <sourcecode> block and condensed 
the groupings of ABNF with their explanatory comments.  

Please review and let us know if you have any major objections. 

Thank you,
RFC Editor/sg
