Hi all,
We should put this on the front page of the OOo site _very soon_ shouldn't we?
i.e. It's *extremely* relevant to OOo directly and wider awareness may assist in getting this blocked.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

"In the New Zealand Herald, Adam Gifford has written an article blasting Microsoft for burying the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office in paperwork. One example is Patent 525484, accepted by the office and now open for objections until the end of May, which says Microsoft invented and owns the process whereby a word-processing document stored in a single XML file may be manipulated by applications that understand XML."
