Right. The ASCII version is the only normative format. Furthermore, all diagrams, no matter how complex in the PDF version, must be converted to ASCII stick figures in the normative ASCII version. There are no tools I'm aware of to aid that conversion, and in many cases much is lost in the conversion. > Changing that rule alone would be sufficient to allow modern > graphics to be called up in normative texts.
