Yes. And, if we're talking about wanting to make the figures
normative, I assume we are talking about a specification. In
that case, it is far more important that the description MUST
be precise, than it is that it MAY be convenient.
Please can we clarify the existing rules:
For a standards track document is it technically acceptable to provide:
A .pdf that is complete (but is non-normative under current rules)
plus
An ASCII text in which the background material refers to figures in the
.pdf but which contains the essential normative statements.
i.e. Is a standards track RFC approvable when it is correct in the
technical
sense, even if it is almost incomprehensible without the text, figures and
equations from its non-normative twin.
