Another thing about this project:

* There is also a Firefox plugin version, which is only 10kb.
* The bulk of the work happens on an XSLT that transforms OpenDocument
into HTML. Other developers can reuse this XSLT in their own
applications. Indeed, this XSLT is already in use by Apache Cocoon, and
the Aukyla Document Management System. Another group of developers is
making a PHP library for ODF files which uses this XSLT. Heck, even
Microsoft has found some use in it! :)

Cheers,
Daniel.
