This does not solve any problems not already solved. This is not plain
text; it is a form of interchange markup and a higher-level protocol.
There are already higher-level markup protocols that accomplish this. The
standard already specifies that FFFC should not be exported from an
application or interchanged. There is no reason to change this.
