Download and render external links as PDFs

[SamWilsn]

This issue should probably be split into many issues with different priorities.

I disagree. Making PDFs of web pages might still be useful.

I suggest the following:

1. All external links are converted to PDFs.
2. All the PDFs are put in a new folder, assets/references.
3. The links are changed to IPFS multihashes.
4. The Ethereum foundation runs an IPFS node that pins these files.

I'll make this a new issue in the EIP repository.

I am against mirroring pages automatically as PDFs in the EIPs repository. It's super complex, opens up a ton of possible attack vectors, and will take a ton of space. Not to mention that git doesn't handle binaries super well, and the crazy copyright considerations.

I would not be against a tool to mirror a webpage in a compatible way that an author could use to include an external reference. I just don't think it should be automatic.

I would suggest to discuss this issue during the next call..

Since we're not allowing external links, I think we can close this.
