That maybe true - but I doubt it's easier to parse than MSO 2003 XML or the
next version. I mean, XML is XML.
Saying "XML is XML" is stupid. There are VAST differences between XHTML,
DocBook, OpenDocument and SVG, although all are "XML". Of those,
OpenDocument is vastly more useful for a search engine. As for MS XML vs
OpenDocument, I think OpenDocument is much easier to parse. The MS XML
format is quite convoluted, and OpenDocument is quite straight forward.
I think it would be because success for ODF means failure for MSO.
Last year you said that OpenDocument was irrelevant to MSO :)
Cheers,
