As it would capitalize on the advantages of "desktop publishing", may I
suggest that the IAB acquire for each Internet site a software and hard-
ware suite so that we can have the RFCs in one standard format.

While we maintain a directory of the RFCs on one of our systems, very few
copies are ever printed which seems to me to be what PostScript is all
about.  Most people reference the documents online with whatever VT100 or
compatible terminal that is sitting on their desk.

I can order, almost, any software and hardware that I want for delivery to
a customer; however, a "desktop publishing" system to read RFCs out of the
capital budget would get me nominated for "Comic of the Year" by the bean
counters.
