Printing: On the printer, it comes out with a line length of 131 characters (paper size A4, portrait, one-up). US-letter is wider, so that might be even worse. The font size appears to be like ~6 pt and very thin, it comes out grey. Comparing it to an I-D that I printed 2-up in 1996, it uses much smaller characters. The I-D is 2 columns because of the 2-up printing. The use of a sans-serif font also makes this html-rfc harder to read on printout than my a2ps formatted I-D from 1996. That's an absolute disaster! Screen-Reading: Opening it in my Tabbed browser (firefox) renders it in an similarly illegible fashion (I have a 1600x1200 monitor). For resizing it to a legible line length, I have to resize all my other open tabs as well, which is a nuisance (Zooming is worse, because it also reduces the number of visible lines). The version at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616 comes up with a perfect rendering instantly in my browser. The line length is easy on the eyes, the font is more readable (to my eyes anyway). So the ASCII-format has a significant lead over that particularly poor example of HTML. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
