Ok, Open Document is good, but it has some problems:

1 - We cannot just get dependent on Open Office. It´s a huge
dependency, and won´t work on wince for example.

2 - Whatever the format is, I would like to be able to write my own
viewer for it. It may be very hard to write a viewer for odt. For
viewing HTML (or HTML extracted from a CHM or CHM-Like file) there is
a lot of stuff ready.

Indeed, I think the idea would be a by-product just as a pdf in that
case. A viewer would not be simple to do, but the format is simple.
The file is actually a zip file with xml stuff files in it.
