The standard is Word, because Word allows for formatting and for version tracking and works well with DMS software.

Word is deeply frustrating, buggy and prone to formatting glitches, but has the network effect.

A specialist contract markup language with a nice lawyer-friendly IDE would be ideal, but would need serious marketing $$$ and lots of patience to achieve broad adoption.
