You need to direct these questions to the RFC editor. I just do what
RFC 1543 says.

As far as I know, this is the only way to get RFC documents or 
Internet Drafts (unless you get them from the original author(s)).

Now if you are requesting that I release an "unformatted" version of
this document, I am willing to do that. Please let me know.
