The big problem with RTF has always been that there (apparently) isn't *a* RTF. Different versions of Word cannot read RTF correctly that was produced by other versions. At least XML carries a reference to its defining document. Given an XML file format XML <-> RTF should be easy. So if Apple has defined *a* RTF then it might be OK for Nisus X, but XML would have the advantage of being easily extendable - just update the DTD. Just my 0.2 cents worth.
