I don't know why anyone would want to promote the
M$-like code bloat of the horribly inefficient PDF,
there must be something better out there.

There are definitely good reasons to promote standards
within the church, Biblical-moral and technological, but
I would not hold my breath waiting for that to happen!

For text, what is wrong with RTF?

For compression purposes the efficiency of djVu better
than any other of which I am aware.
