Do you have any comments on how this displays for you?

Too small (not that you were asking me).   The problem with a
responsive design in this case is that there is no need for it.   We
just want the browser to display the text in a font that's readable
on the display, and to flow it correctly, which it should do based on
the xml2rfc html output.

The first problem I was trying to solve was that for me, the text without
responsive design was too small to read comfortably on my tablets.

+1 relative font size (1em), even though it doesn't produce the best
results in all my {device, browser} combinations.

If we can't find a choice that works for everyone on all their devices
-- and almost certainly we will not be able to! -- then add a button to
the htmlized I-D for bigger/smaller font.

Tablet and smartphone browsers all too often have font size +/- buttons
that are much more difficult to reach than a button on the page would
be.

I was assuming, maybe incorrectly, that other people might like to be able
to read on tablets, too.

You were assuming that your {tablet, browser} choices are representative.

I wonder if you are reacting to the current HTML output of XML2RFC
v2.

No, I've never found that particularly readable, and don't use it.

That too should be fixed to have a +/- font size button at the top.
