I know that ODF is a standard. I meant set other standards, such as keyboard
shortcuts, default websites for content (fonts, templates, clipart,
...), symbolism, command names, default fonts (as I explained, if all the
open-source projects agreed on a triad of default fonts, these fonts could
easily gain the widespread usage as Times-Arial-Courier have enjoyed for
years), etc.
