Even though there's more work the first time, your life will be a lot
easier if you write them in xml2rfc, since that's what's going to
be the canonical format in the future.

Specific answers:

1) use <spanx>very important</spanx> which won't do anything in the
current line printer image format*, but will emphasize the text in
HTML and other output.

2) Reformat it so it fits in 72 columns.  Really.  If you don't,
someone else will have to.  In the future you'll be able to use SVG to
do real line art.

* - don't even think about backspacing and overprinting
