If so, is it one which is in fact supported by free software like OO? A
lot of places say they want MSWord, for example, but I can give them the
OO exported version and it works fine.
That's what I'd do, or even RTF or PDF. PDF is always good.
Here's an example of AbiWord document.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE abiword PUBLIC "-//ABISOURCE//DTD AWML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.abisource.com/awml.dtd";>

So, that's XML, but it's not even a standard like the OASIS file formats that OO.o uses.
