This is why I question the philosophy of keeping the "wall of separation" between "office productivity" apps and "communication tools", like browsers and e-mail clients that some on this list seem so adamant about.
It would be stupid for OOo to try to do everything. It has to make a decision about what it's trying to be, and stick to that.
And this has NOTHING TO DO with the FORMAT. The OpenDocument format is suitable for CAD systems, the web browsers of tomorrow, and many other things that don't exist in OOo. This doesn't mean that OOo should now add a CAD system and a web browser to the suite. That's a ridiculous argument.
Why do people insist on confusing the format with one application that happens to support the format? It's bewildering. I'd expect people on OOo lists to know better. The argument over what OOo should do has absolutely nothing to do with what the OpenDoument Format should cover and be able to do.
Do you also expect every single OpenDocument implementation to d oevery single thing OpenDocument is able to represent? Think about that.
