Once again I say to ODF: we should make our decision with the needs of the users in mind and not 'politics'. For me this means that the preferred implementation is ISO-ODF (and not OASIS-ODF). LO's approach of always implementing the very latest OASIS version not only ensures the rapid development of ODF in practice, but also creates more incompatibility than necessary. In short: it does not seem to me to be reasonable to put Microsoft under pressure _if_ the interests of our users suffer as a result. Right ... what I just said also presupposes to communicate strategically with LO (and others), but we should not shy away from this effort. And no ... I don't think we should slow down the development of ODF. So let's put pressure on the ISO to quickly adopt existing new OASIS versions into their own ODF standard.
