Lampson-designed systems Interscript (1982-83): With Bob Ayers, Jim Horning and Jim Mitchell, I designed this standard for describing editable documents. The main innovations are semantics which allow editing of parts of the document by an editor which doesn't understand other parts (e.g., captions within figures), provision for what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing, a fully integrated mechanism for style sheets, and a layout model based on regular expressions.
