Please feel invited to discuss this with us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I assume that Bruce d'Arcus, the Bibliographic project lead, will join this discussion as he reads our list also. Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
