I am fully confident that Microsoft will implement ODF every bit as well as they implemented HTML. This is why accepted test suites and acid tests are a high priority item. (I can't find the link, but Rob Weir has written a recent mailing list message summing up what is needed.) OOo officially regards a failure to conform to ODF as a reportable bug. They need to shout this out as loud as possible. - d. - d. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
