I think that adding Javascript-like functionality would be a worthy goal. In fact... we should Javascript itself the first macro language and make it do everything Javascript currently does on web pages.

Why?
I'm glad you ask!

Gary Edwards has this great idea of talking to W3C to grab OpenDocument as the evolutionary step after XHTML. It's possible. OpenDocument brings together a lot of W3C standards, and OD itself is an OASIS standard and soon will be an ISO standard. Finally, W3C is in regular contact with the OASIS technical committee that oversees OpenDocument.

So... the idea of OD becomming a W3C recommendation is not far out. Making it the replacement of XHTML is harder, but not impossible.

In any event, back to your note. Having Javascript work with OD files would be the way to go if OD were to work with the web of the future.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Greetings,

in the last two days I've been able to check this list only through
webmail, that is in an almost unreadable interface. I have seen there
have been a lot of posts about my "obsession" with doing portable
OpenDocument macros in Python or whatever else. Due to the problems
above I've been only able to read some parts of only a few messages.
