In  recent  history  IBM created a document interchange standard in order to
share  documents  with  embedded  formatting  and  presentation  information
between different products. If I can believe InfoWorld (April 29, 1985, page
33)  vendors  like  Micropro  (Wordstar)  and  Microsoft  have  committed to
supporting  this  standard,  called  "Document  Interchange  Architecture  /
Document  Content  Architecture"  (DIA/DCA), and promise to incorporate into
their  products  Real  Soon  Now. Does anybody know the name of the document
that  defines  this  standard,  and/or  has  anyone  heard of this before ?!
Adoption of this standard could have interesting implications in microland.
