+1.  Especially given how useful RFC 20 is.

Let's demonstrate agility and pragmatism here.  Promote RFC 20 after a
small effort to ascertain the RFC-Editor's current electronic version's
faithfulness to such "original" paper copies as might be found.  Or even
*without* such an effort: publish any errors found later as errata and
call it a day.
