It's annoying that IETF so behind the times that they still don't use HTML for their RFCs. In the last 20 years they've published 3 specs for hypertext transform protocol, but are still unsure about actually using hypertext yet.
They're probably very concerned about readability on a VT-100 by users who don't have enough memory to run Lynx.
In the meantime the spec is unreadable on a mobile phone screen (their "HTML" version of the RFC is still the same fixed-width text stuffed in a `<pre>` tag).
