yes, but then, my *tab* is smaller, and since it's part of a group, the rest
are too, and while I can break it off, I don't really want to.
I often also rotate a small device to landscape so that I can have full
sentences and use a auto-scroll plugin.

Agreed.

I saw recently that hovering over a reference shows you the details.
That's very cool.
I wish I could do that with all the TLAs, both as defined in the document
itself, and in the RFC-editor list.  Even better if they could be in an
associated document.  The DRIP documents important a dozen confusing TLAs
from the aviation space... that's hard.

But, I don't want too much hovering, and I might want to turn it all off.
It is not the same on a touch screen, and it's a fail if it's a bit drizzly
if you are, reading drafts while at the bus stop.
