A lot of current science-fiction and fantasy magazines have online submission systems, accepting Word documents. And where I remember, way-back-when, submission guidelines noting that (printed) manuscripts should follow Standard Manuscript Format, I'm now seeing a bunch of magazines that do not mention that. One particularly confusing example is that _Clarkesworld_ magazine's guidelines [call for standard format](http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/submissions/), but guidelines to submit for an anthology by the _same_ editor, using the _same_ submission system, [do not](http://neil-clarke.com/not-one-of-us-call-for-submissions/). Is Standard Manuscript Format obsolete? Or is it so ubiquitous it doesn't even need to be mentioned?
