What are the most preferable formats to save markup?  One variant is
Enriched text.  It was designed for using in e-mail, but actually nobody
uses it nowadays.  Most people prefer HTML in e-mail as a replacement of
plain text.

Another variant is RTF, but this format is quite obsolete now too
(not to mention that it is a proprietary format).

Most modern word processors use XML for saving formatted text.
I think Emacs should do the same.
