If we are deposed we may need to deliver up everything we have, as we have it.
We are under no obligation to deliver blue sheets in ASCII readable form (in fact, I doubt we could reliably read all the email addresses), or transcribe audio recordings, or to translate digital presentations into particular formats. And in any case, were we to be requested to produce a particular format, the legal types would want a Microsoft format, not xml or ASCII art.

I'm not defending that POV, only repeating what I believe the answer to be.
