The number is not huge, but some RFCs have, in fact, been
published formally in PS and/or PDF as well as in ASCII (and I'm
on the hook for another one... something else in a too-long
queue).   See RFC 3550 and 3551 for recent standards-track
examples and RFC 1119 for an a Full Standard example that is
legendary in some parts of the community for incomprehensibility
if one has only the ASCII text and diagrams.
