The RFC Editor, on a case-by-case basis, can choose to have one file containing multiple figures, or multiple files. The important thing is that the URLs used by the RFC Editor for any art needs to be long-lived and not tied to the format of the artwork. >E.g., rfc5110.a01 for artwork 1, and so on.

(For the X-fomats >an "embedding" is of course by reference, no B64 data-URL stunt). I agree with John, and strongly disagree with Yakov, that agreeing on a format for text with embedded graphics for the RFC series is still impossible. --Paul Hoffman, Director --VPN Consortium _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
