Not really.  It is textual, but not formatted.
[And yes, I am being picky.]

BTW, 
a) ASCII  is a character encoding scheme.
b) ASCII was replaced by ANSI back in the early eighties.
c) ANSI and ASCII are suitable only for US English.  [US English words
don't have accents.  British English and Foreign words can have
accents.

I'd suggest adding UNICODE plane Zero as an option for long term
storage of multi-lingual documents.
