all arguments that are inhibitors for the impress viewer apply for the other
viewer apps as well. Since neither of these is sheduled for implementation
anyway, it doesn't make sense to have loads of issues for this.

If you're gonna implement a viewer for the files, then go ahead, nobody will
stop you. But all "regular" OOo-developers have other issues to fix before even
considering to work on a viewer app which is of little use anyway.

Again: If you want a read-only document, you can as well just provide it in pdf
format. There are pdf-viewers for all systems available. Both free (as in free
beer) as free ones (as in "freedom of speech").

You don't snip with your fingers and have a viewer app. (sure, you can just
remove all edit-functins from OOo, but still this would not be a viewer app and
far from being small).

So to summarize: If you want it, do it yourself (or find someone else to do 
it). 
In the menatime: Just use PDF or another format, export to MS-Office format and
use the MS-Office viewers or install the full OOo.

If you cannot even get an application for one single type of document, then it
is even more unrealistic to request a viewer that deals with all document types.
