Why did they decide to use a *expletive deleted* PDF file? It
may just be my opinion, but I think that html file(s) would be
much more easily navigated.

For one, HTML is a pain in the backside to print (and yes,
occasionally you do want to print excerpts). For another, HTML
looks differently on IE, on FireFox, Opera, whatever - and how
are you going to display the formulae used in, e.g., the
definition of the floating point formats, in Lynx? Remember,
this is an official Standard - clarity is important, and
confusion undesirable.

Properly constructed HTML adapts to the output page (or screen)
size, and thus is much more easily printed than something rigidly
fixed such as a PDF file.
