By his definition, every document ever written in any DSL is in a propietary format.
Personally, I'm perfectly happy if I can open a document in a text editor and get the content that way. That obviously works perfectly fine with LaTeX, it doesn't work at all with doc.

The good formats are formats that have a) a standard but more importantly b) multiple independent implementations. > Personally, I'm perfectly happy if I can open a document in a text editor and get the content that way. That obviously works perfectly fine with LaTeX, it doesn't work at all with doc. You can get the content, but not the formatting, which was presumably important if you were using latex. It's pretty trivial to extract the plain text from a word doc too.
