  No, by the text of that same link you provided: "... origin of this fallacy is probably related to the fact that data must be submitted in the XPT "transport format" (which was originally created by SAS)." While that post goes on to say, "This [XPT] data format is now an open standard." That is somewhat disingenuous. The XPT format requires IBM Mainframe floats and other wierdness. It's not always that easy to write XPT.
