Hi :)
Please can anyone with anything to say about ODF please post comments
to the consultation exercise

writing in English. Go for it!

I had great hope for RTF, but that bombed.
Load an RTF file into four different word processors, and you'll see

Sadly it's not possible to avoid being a fundamentalist with regards

Hi :)
Don't worry about e-letter's comments! If the proposals are about the
formats then it might be worth mentioning that all different programs
seem to have no trouble implementing ODF as written-up in the ISO spec
but almost everyone, even MS seem to have trouble implementing OOXML
