Hello Elaine, everybody: Thanks for the link! I also believe this to be a most important matter, since most of the court systems tend to take for granted that there exist only a couple of document formats, all of them proprietary.
BTW, it is worth noting that the Judiciary of the Rio Negro Province in Argentina has established the openoffice document format as the basis for its paperless procedure documentation, since it accepts the local PKI (only versions beyond 2.0, I could have it read the certificates only with v. 3.)
