The Adobe Illustrator format comes to mind. I don't know however if
that's copyrighted or what not.
Maybe they come up with something that is even better. e.g. that
handles text in a good way. It would be cool if you could print out
from a text object, get a .ps file and still be able to use the
Librarian to search for info or extract the textual info from this
file (i.e. a textobjectprintedps2rtf filter).
Hope they have a nice surprise for us...
