Thanks, Julian

Alas, the answer makes me wonder even more:

Where would i find an example of such an IETF draft/RFC rendered with CSS
page media attributes ? AFAIK, the older drafts/RFC do not do that,
instead they render page breaks explicitly. And the post-reform ones
do no contain those media attributes, right ?

Even if i had an appropriate attributed html file, i would still not
be able to persuade a normal browser to render the html with pagination ??

Cheers
