For Word Processing documents, what was wrong with Docbook?
(X)HTML fails to represent fairly basic document constructs like
footnotes, endnotes, document metadata, etc. Docbook does a pretty good
job of representing most of what we think of as documents, and it's well
specified, and very straightforward to read and process.
Of course, spreadsheets would probably require a different format, and
representing formulas across products might be hard.
Is there an existing format that would work well for presentations?
(HTML Slidy works pretty well for a lot of them, but can't represent
everything ... and an XML format to represent HTML Slidy shouldn't be
that hard to design.
