This document application profile specifies interchange formats for the transfer of simple character only documents between message handling systems. It provides for the interchange of documents in processable form only. This allows such documents to be interchanged and presented irrespective of the differences between the processing and display capabilities of die sending and receiving systems.
This document application profile is independent of the processes carried out in an end system to create, edit or reproduce documents. It is also independent of the means to transfer documents which, for example, may be by means of communication links or storage media.
