I, too, have been only using tools.ietf.org/html/* for viewing docs for a while and love how well it works. Kudos to whomever put that site together. The ability to jump to sections of the doc is great, but more so to quickly see other revs of the document or links to RFCs that may have updated or obsoleted the doc. Thanks for making that available to all of us.

P.S. Richard, yes, EPUB is great for the eBook readers... next I suppose you're going to want RFCs and I-D's in EPUB? :-) (And no, I am NOT really trying to stir up the recently concluded chapter in the ongoing IETF document format wars...)

For RFCs and I-Ds, I use tools.ietf.org/html/rfc#### and tools.ietf.org/html/draft-XXXX. An unsung feature of that tool is that it both displays AND *prints properly*, using CSS to control pagination. (It's a workaround for what you're complaining about, but it works.)

configuration options for push of new WG drafts.

No browser including Safari displays ASCII text well and that has been my ultimate objection. It drives me nuts that I have to print out all new drafts to actually read them ( sorry HP ). If the app could convert the ASCII to something that allow for different fonts and auto repagination display that would be totally wonderful. That function alone has been one of the huge drivers for tablet devices as Amazon's own market analysis has determined. Its very very age skewed to the over 40 crowd. That is why I'm
totally sold on the .epub format.

Display RFCs?

Doesn't this new toy of yours already have a browser?

I was idly thinking of this a few days ago.  An app for the iPad that
will sync across RFCs and I-Ds for offline viewing would be quite
useful.
