The README for OO 1.0 indicates they're using Info-ZIP to compress their
XML files. Sure enough, as I take a look at an invoice I wrote in OO:
[markk@jackie markk]$ file ebsinc3.sxw
ebsinc3.sxw: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
[markk@jackie markk]$ unzip -t ebsinc3.sxw
Archive: ebsinc3.sxw
testing: content.xml OK
testing: Basic/Standard/ThisDocument.xml OK
testing: Basic/Standard/script-lb.xml OK
testing: Basic/script-lc.xml OK
testing: styles.xml OK
testing: meta.xml OK
testing: settings.xml OK
testing: META-INF/manifest.xml OK
No errors detected in compressed data of ebsinc3.sxw.
[markk@jackie markk]$
Gnumeric may be doing the same thing. Good analysis!
