As always when this discussion occurs, there are at least three different issues swirling around: 1. ASCII-only vs. UTF-82. Plain text vs. higher-level formatting, for text flow and readability3. Whether it is a good idea to include high-quality pictures in RFCs There are not the same issue, and it would help combatants on both sides not to mix them up. I don't know where the argument "don't help authors prepare I-Ds using the tools of their choice, unless they are open-source" fits into this picture. --Doug Ewell * Thornton, Colorado, USA * RFC 4645 * UTN #14http://www.ewellic.orghttp://www1.ietf.org/html.charters/ltru-charter.htmlhttp://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages ˆ _______________________________________________Ietf mailing listIetf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
