    Suggestions for Future Document Format Requirements for RFCs and
                            Internet Drafts

Abstract

   A dwindling fraction of authors of I-Ds and RFCs are still fluent in
   nroff, the official input format for RFCs. With the use of other
   tools, the consistency and layout quality of RFCs and I-Ds has
   suffered.  Printing, hyperlinking and viewing of ASCII documents are
   unsatisfactory. In this document, we investigate how the I-D and RFC
   series can be upgraded in usability while maintaining stability,
   longevity and cross-platform abilities that have been hallmarks of
   the RFC series.
