I disagree. I can’t think of an scenario in which a human who wants/needs
to use IETF publications would not have access to an HTTPS-capable user
agent. -T
I actually doubt that's the case in some countries, but even if it is,
it's completely beside the point.
Sure, I have access to https-capable tools. But as it happens I prefer to
*use* some tools that don't have that capability.
This is, or is supposed to be, an open standards body, one that is
trying to encourage as many qualified people as possible to participate.
It makes no sense at all to restrict access in this way.
