On the other hand, nowadays everyone has a html parser/rendered installed on their computer, + raw HTML is easier to read than the format they are using.

I really wish they'd stop using it!

At the top of the page is "[txt|pdf|html]", if you click the "html", your wish is granted: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash-02.html

Though they do finalize to a plain .txt form, these days most of the IDs and RFCs are created in an XML format that the xml2rfc tool take and converts into the classic .txt, pdf, html, nroff, epub...
