One thing *not* to do is to repeat on this list the RFC-format debate held
every year or so on the main IETF list, most recently three weeks ago
(well over a hundred messages).  I refer you there for all possible (and
many impossible) arguments on all sides:  text, PDF, Word, HTML, XML,
VRML, you name it.

I observe that many I-Ds have no breaks/headers/footers, so I guess the
I-D czars don't require them.  So:  submit the I-D without them if you
want to.  I suspect no one will complain.
