So 2 solutions to printing, assuming we go with HTML:
1) use another tool
when I proposed that ^L was still useful, I suggested
a widely available included tool on an existing OS,
and was mocked for needing to resize the font
2) use another layout
we just as easily generate "display on a ridiculous device"
formats for those who insist on wanting to read RFCs on
4" smartphone displays too ;-)
I.e., this argues for "different formats for different purposes", but I
thought that broke a bunch of requirements.
