This is not to say that all RFCs do just fine with ASCII
art. We have
non-standards documents, which we want the outside world to
read, that
look silly with the current formatting restrictions. We live with
projecting that visual clumsiness, as geeks often do.
I understand this. But it restricts RFC to the sole English
(ASCII) language.
Translating RFC as an authoritative text is therefore impossible.
