"Unicode Nearly Plain-Text Encoding of Mathematics" http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn28/UTN28-PlainTextMath-v2.pdf

Unicode Tech Note #28 is completely unrelated to TeX. It is a suggestion for a different method of encoding math, distinct from TeX, MathML, &c., but with the advantage that it looks nearly like plain (Unicode) text. The paper was written by Murray Sargent of Microsoft, who works with the MS Office Math component and maintains a blog about it at http://blogs.msdn.com/murrays/. The input to Office 2007+ Math is based on this paper, and you can in fact switch an equation in Word between "display" and "linear" formats. (The internal format is XML-based OMML.) —Joel
