+<p>
+  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.
