Well demand is in this case more or less prerequisite :-( I do ask myself, are SME & Enterprises users working around it by using XLSX or are because the are using XLSX anyhow.. Or is there really no demand.. The performance is surely not good for the adaption of the OpenDocument Format and or/ propagating Open Document Format as serious competitor in SME or Enterprise setups. Lovely chicken or egg situation. Is ODS adaption needed first, creating demand for performance improvements. Or needs ODS an improvement before adaption OpenDocument is even realistic. And the lovely mixture of ideology (making ODS competitive) and commercial aspects (SME/Enterprise). If it would be a tender, people will complain sponsoring SME/Enterprise issues. However without ODS can't be taken seriously (maybe overstating it a little :-), slowing down adoption. > Beyond that tweaking the ODF format to use eg.

I have no clue how the process of the ODF format change works. Who takes the initiative. OASIS on it's own. Or is always needed that some eco-system partner filing a change proposal, writing the drafting with proof of concept/benchmarks etc. (which likely pretty expensive) I prefer those idea's being somewhere on the todo list of OASIS :-). However it's no use if OASIS acts based on detailed change proposals. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
