  * Why not to just to proceed step by step and experiment? Let create an 
  * optional non-ascii art RFC-Editor repositories, for images quoted in 
  * RFCs. This will not permit non-ASCII art to be normative but will 
  * permit non-ASCII art to be _better_ descriptive in a first time. 
  * Experience will show if there are many such images. If there is a 
  * real need for normative non-ASCII art, it will provide experience to 
  * create a non-ASCII art IANA registry making sure they will survive, 
  * at an adeqate place.

This has been in place for many years, in the form of PS and/or
PDF versions of RFCs.  What am I missing?

I am not suggesting a repository of the RFC PDF version. But a 
repository of the _art_ attached to an ASCII version. So we first see 
if there is a real need through the usage made.
