I may repeat myself: I do not think that typograhical design is the "most
important issue"  for the input format at the moment
unless we think that there is a special style that is just for a draft,
such that by replacing the style, a great deal (not all) of a the
draft-to-rfc conversion can be performed in a simple way by
changing the style, i.e. also by removing it, I don't suggest this though.

IMO,  an html rfc MUST NOT depend on css for readability.
