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). <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Paper_Specification> (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.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:dave2w...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2012 12:44 To: dennis.hamil...@acm.org Cc: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: desktop publishing On Nov 22, 2012, at 10:12 AM, Dennis E.
