Hmm, no. That is true when you read it in the browser, but is not the case once you print it.
there is no discussion of what a multi-page version would look like. Navigation in HTML is intrinsically by following links.
Unless it's on paper.
The TXT version needs to go back to the old format for page numbers to be useful.
Why? The only reason appears to be printing, for which the PDF seems to be superior.
At the I-D stage page numbers are useful because people send diffs and you need to context to get to the right place in the .xml.
How do page numbers help with the XML? Aren't section and paragraph numbers much better for that? Best regards, Julian
