Without paper, I don't see the point of pagination.

So you would argue that RFCs should normally be used in paper form? This is the only way I can see to avoid requiring internet access.

This idea seems sane to me. Given the  current policy, the documents are already not usable on the hundreds of millions of net-capable mobile devices;  a high quality paper version would avoid making the false promise that RFCs are "available online".

No. I have no problem with *supplementing* it with such a URL but any author listed on the front page should have an email address, a postal address, and a telephone number listed in the RFC. The model for an RFC is that of a permanent book, not an ephemeral web page. I am opposed to the migration of more of RFC content to links requiring Internet access and perpetual maintenance.
