Hi guys,
I'm at a conference here at the moment and one of the sessions just now was on 'Open 
Source Alternatives for the desktop'. Mozilla and OpenOffice.org were the main focus 
but AbiWord was mentioned as well. :)

Anyway, the one complaint the guy had was in comparing the file formats. MSWord - 
bleugh, binary. AbiWord - xml, nice but no dtd. OOo - zipped xml - nice, has dtd as 
well.

Once we have a dtd that actually applies to the current state of the abi file format, 
might it be an idea to include the dtd somehow in the gzipped or bzipped versions of 
the format. If I can find the guy I'll maybe ask him what in particualar he'd want it 
for, but just offhand what do you think?

Regards,
Daniel
