That is because it only just came out. There are details on the ODF web

can write utilities to operate on ODF, for example save your web site
pages in ODF. This is extremely easy and ODF members have already
produced such things commenting that it was achievable between coffee
breaks. So there will be a lot more software that operates on ODF files
that is not office software as such.
A bit OT, but...
Given the "kissing cousin" sort of relationship between xml and html, I
have to wonder how hard it would be to create a web browser that
directly displays ODF files. Right off the bat I can see problems with
spreadsheets (the browser would have to be capable of calculating the
formulas and formula formats haven't been standardized yet), but text
docs and presentations should be relatively easy to transform.
Or in my ignorance have I missed some basic technical points?
