Agreed.  And this is of course also the reason why I went to the effort
of writing and setting up the htmlization mechanism on tools.ietf.org:

Accessing, for any RFC or draft, its name under http://tools.ietf.org/html/
will give you a htmlized version, with at least rudimentary links and
section anchors.  Example: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4510#section-1

And http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/index gives you a htmlized index pointing
to htmlized versions of the RFCs.

It's not as good as having the standard format provide links natively,
though.  I wish it was totally unnecessary.


Regards,

	Henrik
