It doesn't have to be the "fat" OO.o client with the UI rendered via
JavaFX.
I actually meant simple web widgets / apps coded in JavaFX which can
LOAD AND DISPLAY (with limited functionality) OO.o and ODF files.
Consider it cheating, or lies. But that's just other ways to refer to
the concept others call "marketing".
In other words, Sunoracle should code an "opendocument viewer" in
JavaFX and call it "OpenOffice JavaFX viewer". Add dock-to-systray,
print, print preview, "share with friends" (web2.0-centric)
features.... ....
Kinda like the MSFT Word / Excel /Powerpoint free viewers, but on
steroids.

better :-)... and computers are certainly faster a decade
later... ;-)
