That's certainly one reasonable approach. My concern was if we
decided that PDF was the right way to publish RFCs -- we'd have no
easy way to do diffs, since some people would use XML, some Word,
some OpenOffice, etc.
Put another way, I'm primarily stating a requirement.
Adobe Acrobat can do three different types of diffs between PDF
documents.
Yes, yes, I know Acrobat is proprietary (and expensive), and I'm not at
all suggesting it be required equipment for the IETF or RFC authors.
But if Acrobat can do it, maybe some freely available software will be
able to do the same in the future.
