Hi Tim,

On Apr 8, 2024, at 10:55 AM, Tim Chown <Tim.Chown=40jisc.ac.uk@dmarc.ietf.org> wrote:

Thanks, so should we consider the HMTL version as obsolete or no longer supported?

I don’t mind as such, but personally I won’t be looking at the HTML version again having been bitten here. Unfortunately it’s the version google search returns first, so many people will routinely find it.

Keep in mind that around RFC 8650 or so, the HTML rendering became something completely different and altogether better. It took me a while, but at this point, the modern HTML rendering is my preferred way to consume IETF specs, and I see the txt rendering and its derivatives as a necessary evil (and if we could get over ourselves and add a ToC/page count [*] to the HTML rendering I’d be willing to give on “necessary”).

The point being, don’t write off the HTML rendering for current drafts and more-recent RFCs.

—John

[*] Yes I know, it doesn’t make sense to talk about “pages” in the HTML rendering. “BogoPages” or something.
