There should be an immutable requirement that any alternative format
MUST NOT increase the size by more than a factor of two compared to
ASCII text.
So you're saying you're unalterably opposed to the RFC editor providing
PDF, HTML, epub, mobipocket, and every other format that people actually
use on modern computers, as well as anything that includes reasonably
legible images?
If that's not what you mean, what DO you mean? We all seem to agree
that we want to continue to provide the traditional line printer image
format, but on today's Internet where 20Mb/sec cable modems aren't
particularly fast, it's silly to demand that documents be sized for
floppy disks.
