I would have just thought that all the html-heads would have wanted to show off the flexibility of html more than what is done now. The amount of work to come up with a separate css and then figure out how to apply it to just dras/RFC on datatracker is big enough that only few will do i. If instead you could choose on your datatracker account from e.g.: 3 different css and upload also your own, then that would have persuaded a lot more users.


But then again, afaik, css could by itself not take the current html and paginate it, so it too has its limits.
