They’ve taken an approach which is quite different in some ways to our existing editing code, but with other similarities.
Both work directly in a web browser (or web view embedded in a native app). Whereas we work natively with HTML5 for editing, WebODF loads the content.xml file and injects it directly into the DOM, using CSS to control the appearance of elements that the browser does not otherwise know anything about. If you open the web inspector in Safari (or equivalent in other browsers) you can view the DOM and see ODF elements in the tree. The editing code works by manipulating the DOM in terms of ODF, not HTML5. There are quite a few other differences in terms of how they deal with operations - I believe at the time I looked at the code and discussed it with the developers they were working on some real-time collaboration features, and as such I recall the operations being defined in a more abstract manner applicable for reuse to what we have. — Dr Peter M.
