Subject: [KEYPROV] RFC - Time to revise format

The IETF is probably the last organization clinging on to a
plain-text format.  Although you can get an HTML view of
RFCs, this layout falls short in comparison with other more
contemporary  schemes like properly authored PDF.

IMO, complex standard efforts like KEYPROV are not particularly
well expressed in the current format.

I think that the creators of the next generation of KEYPROV (if there
will be one), should either abandon the IETF or require a new format.
Although style isn't everything, I think the new generation is unlikely
to find RFCs appealing and that may in fact affect standards uptake.
