That was what I had in mind when I started this thread or maybe
configuration options for push of new WG drafts. 

No browser including Safari displays ASCII text well and that has been my
ultimate objection. It drives me nuts that I have to print out all new
drafts to actually read them ( sorry HP ). If the app could convert the
ASCII to something that allow for different fonts and auto repagination
display that would be totally wonderful. That function alone has been one of
the huge drivers for tablet devices as Amazon's own market analysis has
determined. Its very very age skewed to the over 40 crowd. That is why I'm
totally sold on the .epub format.

I was idly thinking of this a few days ago.  An app for the iPad that
will sync across RFCs and I-Ds for offline viewing would be quite
useful.
