You beat me to it, John! I was thinking of writing the same thing. :)

    I remember back when the IETF was full of engineers who looked at a 
    problem and wrote software to solve it.

    It took about an hour to write this:

     	https://github.com/jrlevine/pagerfc 

    It takes an unpaginated text RFC, adds page breaks, headers, and footers, 
    splices the page numbers into the TOC, and since someone said it would be 
    useful, puts the current section header into each page footer.  Sheesh.

    For demonstration only, your mileage and page numbers may vary.
