I'm surprised folks are apologizing for the initial impression ASCII text gives, and that people feel MS Word or PDF would represent some sort of advance. I find both of those formats difficult to use, and my reaction when I see a spec in PDF or MS Word is to assume the responsible organization is clueless. The rare specification requiring elaborate illustrations would be better as HTML with a liberal sprinkling of fragment identifiers. -- Robert Sayre _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
