Actually, I had not thought of it that way at all. I was commenting on just
the general perception that someone could believe that the ASF was promoting
Open Office by requiring its use by contributors.

As above, certainly not the intent, but do you disagree that the conclusion
I did pose might be drawn? If so, mightn't it be good to have ready
answers, should the community decide that it wants to adopt that format?

Yes, I got that point. Daisy and Confluence have both been mooted to fill
that role, too. Too bad that something like Writely doesn't appear to be
freely available to install, rather than use their proprietary site. If you
know of such tools, please let me know.
