Don't be lured by the fact that XML presents itself as the solution to all
problems. I do not
see how you could collaborate with co-authors using word, unless your document
is horribly
simple.
Obviously not lossless or that straight forward - but I guess much easier then
it is now. (even
Libre Office an Word do not play that nicely together - even if I use only
docx, I get formating
issues when I get the file back. But these are things I can handle.
And actually, most documents are horribly simple, and how it looks in word is
irrelevant (no
painting of formats necessary), as long as the *structure* is kept. Even images
/ tables could be
skipped in word, as long as a placeholder is put there (or an image).
You are in the category of users who know what to expect. I wanted to
point out that in general, co-authors may not want to put up with
collaborating on a document that has weird formatting (no image, bad
tables...) just because you do not want to use word :)
And indeed, using libreoffice in a team of word aficionados is already
painful IMO.
