In the long run, this is the most advantageous.  PDF/A is an option for
read-only.  For those stuck on legacy applications and a need document
editable, there is a plug-in from Sun to allow use of standard formats:

There is also a viewer which works, but could use improvement:

If the viewer is something someone here would like to get paid to take
further, let me know off list.
