Re: More liberal draft formatting standards required




To save time, I would suggest adopting the Patent Office rules on Perpetual Motion. People advocating for a change to facilitate figures (or to allow complicated math, such as tensor analysis) should have an existence proof, i.e., a document that requires the change to be published. (A document that left the IETF to be published elsewhere for this reason would also do.)
RFC1305 which states

Note: This document consists of an approximate rendering in ASCII of the
PostScript document of the same name. It is provided for convenience and
for use in searches, etc. However, most tables, figures, equations and
captions have not been rendered and the pagination and section headings
are not available.
