Seconded.  It's not like we don't have postscript printers and previewers
everyplace -- as Karl said, it's just really nice to be able to read/search
for/index/etc an RFC without having to invoke all of that machinery.  And
it's not at all clear to me why PostScript is necessary.  I have never been
confused by the lack of font support or the ASCII graphics in the older
RFCs.  Seems like a solution to a non-problem, IMHO!
