Hi Jambunathan, Thanks for your reply.
I will take one week of vacation next week (till sept. 5th) and try to tackle the various issues about org-html.el and org-xhtml.el -- I will then make a proposal that I hope we can both agree upon. Again, let me rephrase that I have two goals: merging the ODT exporter into Org's core, and keeping you as a motivated contributor to Org. So be reassured that I will do whatever I can in order to smooth out the way we collaborate on this. For the record, I disagree that those who make changes to org-html.el should also backport their changes to org-xhtml.el. For example: Emacs developers make changes to Org in Emacs, and it is my responsability to backport these changes into upstream Org, not their responsability. It doesn't mean we are stuck in a painful process. I'm sure we can find a smart way of dealing with this issue. I like the motherhood metaphor: to my hears, it underlines how *patient* we need to be! And focused on the baby, not on our hope and fears. So be it :) Thanks! -- Bastien
