 The idea of using HPGL as an exchange medium has one benefit: it can be
done right now, no hassle.

 The problem with using HPGL is that no understanding of circuit
topology or functionality is communicated to design systems by a series
of draw commands.  Persons wishing to incorporate a transmitted design
would be forced to re-enter the schematic from pen plots.

 A problem with EDIF arises directly from the rumor mill (a local CAD
sales office). I am given to understand one feature of EDIF is provision
of a SPECIAL construct, allowing members of the CAD industry to follow
local database philosophies. I believe this can be interpreted to mean

	"As far as being an all-encompassing spec is concerned, EDIF has
	 a hole in it that one can drive a truck through."

 Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to hear this ain't so
