We're interested in non-proprietary solutions that have small file sizes.
Preferably SGML-based solutions, since that's our business :-)

Not RTF; not PostScript (whether Level 1 or Level 2), and preferably a format
that is defined clearly in a published standard, by an internationally
recoginsed standards body.

Of course, if interoperability and document longevity aren't issues, and
you don't mind being tied to a single vendor.... and a single output medium
(e.g. not Braille or spoken word) .... :-)
