OOps, more than one XPS.  (Of course, at Xerox Corporation, every TLA wasted 
its first letter.)

Further down, I was mentioning the XML Paper Specification (XPS), a final-form 
format presumably intended to scale to high-performance publishing/printing 
systems.  I believe that is why the interleaving provisions were in OPC (XPS 
being the first place that OPC showed up).

(I am surprised to see how much product support there is for XPS.  When I first 
saw the group of hardware manufacturers, my first thought was here's a 
last-ditch 'Everyone but Adobe' flail.  That didn't diminish my interest, 
because good specifications for high-fidelity final-form rendering are valuable 
to have.)

We evaluated XPS - the big problem was that even though Xerox invented  
Ethernet with external systems was via a serial port.
