While I'm certainly looking forward to a real Mac-native version of OpenOffice -- and Sun's increased involvement certainly is good news -- I'm wondering if the X11 version for Mac will be abandoned once the Aqua version is complete?

I ask because the X11 version actually provides some advantages for some Mac users -- specifically those who work with complex Asian scripts such as Devanagari and Tibetan (this may be true of others as well) for which the Macintosh and Windows/Linux implementations are different enough that cross-platform sharing of Unicode-based documents is impossible.

An another big big advantage of the X11 version : you can run OOo as a service without having to run a Window Server session. We use OOo for doing mailing stuff from a Java (WebObjects) applications and it works quite well without having to log a user.

If ooo is running in headless mode, it shouldn't need a window server. Surely there will be some way of doing that. I'm not saying it should be a top priority.
