 a message of 66 lines which said:

My "reading between the lines" interpretation of RFC 4693 Section 5
is that perhaps creating IONs was considered easier than e.g. fixing
the procedures and tools for maintaining ordinary ietf.org web
pages.

That's not my reading at all. This section explains clearly the
problem with Web pages:

      Web pages, which can be changed without notice, provide very
      little ability to track changes, and have no formal standing --
      confusion is often seen about who has the right to update them,
      what the process for updating them is, and so on.  It is hard when
      looking at a Web page to see whether this is a current procedure,
      a procedure introduced and abandoned, or a draft of a future
      procedure. 
...
   o  Unlike Web pages, there is an explicit mechanism for finding "all
      current versions", and a mechanism for tracking the history of a
      document.
