I opened the link on two different devices,
to see how the tables rendered.

On one (iPod touch with Safari), it worked reasonably. 
The only problem was that the table columns were skewed
due to browser not using monospace fonts. Were the table more complex
or were there some truly wacky ASCII art it probably wouldn't have worked.

On a second device (running a different browser, unnamed to protect the 
guilty)
I received a continuous stream of characters with no line breaks at all.
When viewing the txt version on www.rfc-editor.org that same browser 
does a fairly good job, assuming that I rotate the device to fit the
table into the width.

However, these 2 tables were small and relatively simple.
Why don't you try Figure 3 of RFC 5087 or Figure 2 or 15 of RFC 5905 ?


I added all the RFCs in all 3 directories, so you can now test with your
favorite RFC.
