Justication for the RFC-HTML Effort

Back to RFC-HTML Development Page.
Note that while these reasons are designed to justify the use of a third format (besides ASCII text and Postscript), they may eventually be found compelling enough to justify making HTML the single archival format for RFCs and similar documents.

(This is based on some meditations by Dan Kohn. I have reordered, lightly edited, and slightly amplified it.)
