i think it is important that we all use one terminology. I heard
OpenDoc, ODF (no legal valid abbreviation), ... But the exact name is
"Open Document Format" and we should use always this full name.
Actually, the full name is "OASIS OpenDocument Format for Office
Applications".
You *have* to abreviate it. I think that OpenDocument is the abreviation
that is closest to the name and is still short. OpenDoc should be
avoided because there was another format by IBM years ago which was
called OpenDoc.
Otherwise people become confused and even other proprietary formats with
maybe "Open" in their name can't be differentiated from the original
format.
That's an argument to minimize the proliferation of abbreviations, but
not to use the full name. I say that OpenDocument and ODF are good.
Cheers,
Daniel.
