I think it is foolish to assign a metric to compatibility between OOO and

I fear that the *Office camps will be in some sort of competition.
Competition means that there is a winner, and a loser.
The good thing is that one will survive and become the de-facto

One interesting difference that I see happening in the future
wrt LibreOffice is that Apache OpenOffice will be a big

Apache PDFBox looks like a good candidate for inclusion.

Maybe better to emphasise the similarities, the most important being that
they both operate on odf files with 100% fidelity. From a user point of view
that is very important and not mentioned in this thread which was started by
