Oh, one more thing.  The most widely-used archival form in use at libraries
I've visited has been written or printed words on paper.  This form has
much going for it -- it can represent any character set humans have ever
used, can contain any diagram, and does not require any special software to
to view or produce.  
 
[YJS] Actually, cuneiform on clay tablets and hieroglyphics on marble stelai
seem to be better than paper if you really want your message to last a
long time.
