You have a pretty strong accent, I'm having severe difficulties
understanding your language:
Your statement bespeaks a certain degree of na=C3=AFvet=C3=A9, =C3=A0 la =
those whose
heads are planted firmly in the sand. When shall we strip away the mere
fa=C3=A7ade of global participation that we falsely maintain? Only an
=C3=BCbermensch could wade through these interminable mailing list thread=
s! I
suggest that anyone who wants to drag our document formats kicking and
screaming into the third millennium might share their r=C3=A9sum=C3=A9 wi=
th this
list or, even better, arrange a meeting at IETF 77. Shall we schedule a
soir=C3=A9e at the Anaheim Hilton's Caf=C3=A9 Del Sol?
and in Randy's reply it comes out like this:

I'm doing a significant part of my work, including EMail,
in 8-bit xterm using iso-latin-1 fonts and a Mail User Agent
that ignores code pages.
Out of curiosity, I tried to look at a couple of Web Sites today
with a Netscape Communicator 4.8 that I happen to still have
around. The resulting display of my two most commonly visited
sites in that Browser are a real visual disaster.
And while the _display_ of http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html
comes out *MUCH* nicer for the boxes/borders for examples (they don't
exceed past the right margin, are centered, have a different background color)
in Netscape Communicator 4.8 compared to what Firefox 3.5 displays,
the printout of NSC 4.8 really sucks (rendering the blue text of many
hyperlinked text over preceeding black text).
HTML is definitely not ripe for anything with a useful lifetime
beyond one year.
