There are not only diving data which are different from the common distance
- bearing - inclination stuff, there are also some other methods for
recording survey data. Theodolite surveys for example or the Topofil which
is popular in France.

I think processed data shouldn't interchanged because each software
processes data in its own way. You could take the same surveying data from a
looped cave and enter them into CaveRender, Compass and Survex and print the
map in exactly the same scale. Each of the three maps will look a little bit
different because of different loop closure technique.
