So you would argue that RFCs should normally be used in paper form? This is
the only way I can see to avoid requiring internet access.

This idea seems sane to me. Given the  current policy, the documents are
already not usable on the hundreds of millions of net-capable mobile
devices;  a high quality paper version would avoid making the false promise
that RFCs are "available online".

No. I have no problem with *supplementing* it with such a URL but any author
listed on the front page should have an email address, a postal address, and
a telephone number listed in the RFC. The model for an RFC is that of a
permanent book, not an ephemeral web page. I am opposed to the migration of
more of RFC content to links requiring Internet access and perpetual
maintenance.
