As always when this discussion occurs, there are at least three
different issues swirling around:
1. ASCII-only vs. UTF-8
2. Plain text vs. higher-level formatting, for text flow and
readability
3. Whether it is a good idea to include high-quality pictures in RFCs
There are not the same issue, and it would help combatants on both sides
not to mix them up.
I don't know where the argument "don't help authors prepare I-Ds using
the tools of their choice, unless they are open-source" fits into this
picture.
