Before embracing this concept, I would strongly urge people to consider the
flap which erupted on (I believe) comp.protocols.tcp-ip after a couple of
RFC's were posted in PostScript rather than in plain text.  Some of the
objections raised were:

  The PostScript form of a document is typically many times larger than the
  plaintext form.

  Relatively few readers have on-line PostScript browsers, so that PostScript
  articles can be read only by first converting them to hardcopy.

  Not everyone who wants to read the subject matter has a PostScript printer.

  Meaningful computer-assisted searching (e.g. grep) of saved PostScript
  documents is difficult if not impossible.  Quoting is even worse.

To which I might add:  John Hascall's 12-line program required over 3 minutes
to print on a LaserWriter II NT.  Many of us spend too much time on news as
it is.
