They are.

Is there a tool that turns the .md into an .xml suitable for the datatracker?

Yes - see:

Many people use this:
  https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template
... which incorporates kramdown-rfc.

It needs to be adopted by the group before getting into http-extensions, so doing it in your own repository and submitting to the datatracker is the right way to do this.
