Hacking text display applications when HTML was designed for it already and
most RFC's natively generate HTML (xml2rfc), do we really have a problem to
solve?

What's important is that things that *should* work well on small
displays, such a reflowing prose paragraphs, and re-pagination, do
so. This is where text/plain fails big (and HTML does not).
That's more of an attribute of the text reader than any thing else.
I've had readers that reflow text just fine --- far better than PDF,
at any rate.
It requires a format that does allow reflowing and repagination. HTML does,
PDF/A does, text/plain does not (maybe RFC 2646 would help, maybe not).
text/plain is what we use, and that's a problem that'll need to be solved.
