No one has been willing to take on conversion to text format which in any case would reduce readability as the equations get really long in flat text. When one cites a published article, then one can count on it being retrievable for the life of the RFC. It is in databases that can be accessed by libraries. Unpublished documents on websites don't tend to have that longevity. They are useful for discussions during development of a draft but they may not hang around for the life of the standard.

As to Marjorie's original question, also which I quote,

I really tried to answer _without_ _any_ _ambiguitites_.
Seems I failed.

I didn't mention ``formal references to it'' or
anything in that respect remotely resembling.
