I haven't had the opportunity to read through the full article yet but the
phrase "The proposed patent would cover methods for an application other
than the original word processor to access data in the document." strikes me
as being wrong. Doesn't Open Office do this?  It already stores it's files
in an XML format, which can be used by any other application.....
