Re: RFC archival format, was: Re: More liberal draft formatting standards required

["Doug Ewell" <doug at ewellic.org>]

As always when this discussion occurs, there are at least three 
different issues swirling around:

1.  ASCII-only vs. UTF-8
2.  Plain text vs. higher-level formatting, for text flow and 
readability
3.  Whether it is a good idea to include high-quality pictures in RFCs

There are not the same issue, and it would help combatants on both sides 
not to mix them up.

I don't know where the argument "don't help authors prepare I-Ds using 
the tools of their choice, unless they are open-source" fits into this 
picture.
