The point is - I doubt the difference will matter to Google's search. They

The advantage of OpenDocument from a search engine's point of view is
that it allows more scemantics. You can search for documents titled
"Finnance" with the text "Travel" written by Daniel with at least one
edit by Chad that hasn't been updated since January.
Okay, that specific example is not interesting, but I'm sure Google can
think of a way to put those scemantics to good use. And future versions
of OpenDocument will allow arbitrary scemantics (using RDF).
There's not much of a point in discussing this anyway. Google hasn't said
they prefer ODF to DOC or MSOXML - we're just assuming they do.
Google has shown at least some interest in OpenDocument (e.g. they went
to the ODF meeting from IBM, they contribute at OOo, etc). Plus, they
are Microsoft's competitor.
What I mean is ODF is a
bad thing for MSO - not the total death of.
I think that ODF will break Microsoft's monopoly and create a more level
playing field. Think of dominos. Think of the first crack in a damm.
Cheers,
Daniel.
