Formatted like a formal academic publication. No way (that I can tell) to grab a pdf. Comes across as a blog masquerading as academic literature to me. Am I wrong? Did I miss something and there's an offline version available?

Pages served up over http are ephemeral. An absolutely essential part of formal academic literature is the archival aspect - self contained, immutable, and referenceable in an unambiguous manner.

There's also an immediate practical aspect for me. I will likely never get around to reading this because I will forget it exists because my "reading list" consists of a pile of pdf files.
