Is there a place > where unformatted RFCs can be downloaded? You need to direct these questions to the RFC editor. I just do what RFC 1543 says. As far as I know, this is the only way to get RFC documents or Internet Drafts (unless you get them from the original author(s)). Now if you are requesting that I release an "unformatted" version of this document, I am willing to do that.
