What's nice about the OpenDocument formats is that they are a fully documented format_and_ implemented how they're documented. If you do just a bit of research into the OpenDocument format vs Microsoft's "Office Open XML" formats, you'll see why this is an important distinction.
That's the point I'm usually making to various job databases; I see an AWFUL lot of sites that will take .DOCX files, yet don't take .ODT. I point out to them that ODT is an openly defined format, rather than proprietary like .DOCX, is supported by significantly more applications than .DOCX, and since .ODT was defined first, it should have been *implemented* first.
