[Surfraw-devel] Bug#518827: surfraw: Support the HTML'ized rfc URLs in the elvi

[Micah Anderson]

Package: surfraw
Version: 2.2.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Simple change to the rfc elvi will enable us to enjoy the HTML version of 
the RFCs provided by the IETF. This makes browsing footnotes, sections etc. 
significantly better IMHO.

Simple patch:
