That's obvious to us at least. We want a two way process, where we have "Test Script" writer documents and XML test scripts, where you can create one from another. Think of the writer document as a rich annotated form, where things can be bold, footnoted, etc. free form WYSIWYG (ODF format is supposed to translate that, right?). You may declare this useless. But it's an entirely different thing from a XML editor. It's for us the perfect mix of XML editor with presentation editor. It would allow our developers to work closely with the testers, while sharing one common preferred source of modification, the "hybrid" document. And I was wondering, is ODF only an afterthought to OOo, or does it reflect internal structure as well? Would an application that tags things as this or that style, really have a hard time to expose this XML alike structure to the user?
