Unfortunately, there is no single paper that gives a comprehensive
treatment of presentation formatting. Aside from the XDR, ASN.1/BER,
and NDR specifications (see Eisler [Eis06]; the CCITT recommendations
[CCITT92a], [CCITT92b]; and the Open Software Foundation [OSF94]),
three other papers cover topics related to presentation formatting are
those by O’Malley et al. [OPM94], Lin [Lin93], and Chen et al. [CLNZ89].
All three discuss performance-related issues.
