Um, which software that takes a long text file *doesn't* put in page breaks as it sends it to the printer? This has been a standard part of nearly every word processing and text editing program for two decades now...

Indeed.  Why continue this archaic mid-20th century nonsense?

I, personally, will never waste a second of my own time inserting page breaks in any I-D that I write.

Do people really mark up internet drafts by hand instead of using tools like nroff or Dr Rose's rfc2629 tools?

If so, why?

If not, why does this list contain a thread about page breaks?
