Certainly, accessibility is good.

Well, we have heard several people who think we need to move away from 56 years 
of practice in which we used ASCII-art and other presentation forms that might 
be considered imagery (RFC 1305!).

I have no problem at all with the “trying” part; we certainly should do this, 
and I’m trying to do my part (e.g., with CDDL; I’ve also been arguing for 
including source forms of images in RFCs).

I do have a problem with “make sure”, which is a nice wording for what is 
better known as “prohibition politics".

It is hard enough to get an RFC published at this point.
We should be working on removing obstacles, not adding them.
(And we should be working on getting documents with better readability, 
accessibility, fewer errors, … Sure.)

Grüße, Carsten
