RE: PDF, Postscript, and "normative" versions (was: Re: Baby Steps (was RE: Alternative formats for IDs))

Before I go on, I continue to be fascinated by the observation
that, each time the "we really need pictures and fancy
formatting and need them frequently" argument comes up, the vast
majority of those who make it most strongly are people whose
contributions to the IETF -- in designer, editor, or other
leadership roles-- have been fairly minimal.  

This fascinates me too...

With experience, I believe most people learn that the strict
ASCII format used for RFC's is actually a strong feature of 
our ways of working. When I wrote my first drafts, I also
believed non-ASCII graphics were needed and I made multiple
versions (one TXT and one PS) of each draft, but I do not
waste my time on that anymore since I have learned that I
can manage very well without non-ASCII graphics.
