+ It has never been particularly easy to move sessions or projects from one
+ <abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr> to another. There are two
+ <dfn>interchange standards</dfn> that have reasonably widespread support:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>OMF (Open Media Framwwork), also known as OMFI. Developed and controlled
+ by Avid, never standardized</li>
+ <li>AAF (Advanced Authoring Format). Developed by a consortium of media-related
+ corporations.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+ In practice both of these standards have such complex and/or incomplete
+ specifications that different DAWs support them only partially,
+ differently, or not at all.
