Hi All,

I know that as a linguist I'm particularly finicky about text, so bear with me ;-) but...

I would like to recommend that people _not_ refer to the file format "OpenDocument" as "OpenDoc", because "OpenDoc" is a name for something different:

"A standard and application programming interface (API) that makes it possible to design independent programs (components) that can work together on a single document. OpenDoc is being developed by a loose alliance of companies, including Apple Computer, IBM, and Lotus. Notably absent from this list is Microsoft, which is pushing an alternative standard and API called Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)."
