And companies that do a lot engineering work and must pass analysis files
around could really do with a well-known-standard-with-lots-tools format.
 These files are big, 100MB being on the low end.  The binary HDF5
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_Data_Format has filled this role
for many years in the engineering domain.  And has recently benefited from
being selected as an international standard ISO 10303-26 (part 26)
