For what respects our own services, we will let you know as soon as they are adapted from the old SSAP to the new spec.
I can not talk for the other providers who have published their spectra in the old SSAP form (see list below), but as I said we are working on an XSLT to help in their transformation, should they want to use it.
Subjects: Calibrated spectra of the HST/FOS spectrograph. Pointed
observations.
