​Whereas anyone with even a bit of sense would ask for something that is
LaTex compatible!​ Actually, I still like the SGML used by DCF & Waterloo
Script. I have gone to the URL posted and entered the following comment:

Rather than a proprietary format, such as MS "docx", I would prefer a truly
open format used by professional organizations. In particular, I think that
TeX or, especially, LaTeX2e would be far superior to "docx". LaTex2e is the
preferred document format for the American Mathematical Society and the
Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. Many
graduate schools prefer the use of some sort of TeX document for papers and
theses.
