The canonical RFC 192 record is also missing 3 very critical diagrams, and
it's a network graphics paper so these diagrams are pretty important!

I have them here:

https://write.as/365-rfcs/rfc-192

In particular I love that figure 1 is a graphical display image, figure 2
is the directed scene graph that describes the image, and figure 3 is
pseudocode for parsing the directed graph for display.
