I don't understand your point here.  Are you suggesting that you can't
print HTML?

I also don't understand your point here.  We're not going to be injecting
ads into RFCs.  You can run a browser in your xterm window, or externally.
 If you run a dedicated graphical browser, you can turn off as much of the
chrome as you like.  We need to ensure that we're using screen real-estate
as best we can in the pages we generate, but that's more of a design issue
than a format issue.
