Hello Pierre-Yves, (good you cc'ed me, though normally I ask people to not do so :). Seems we have a problem with the mailing list, as both your mails did arrive without body text. Hmm. I nonetheless continue this in [EMAIL PROTECTED], and ask you to do so, too. Full quoting for new readers.)

Rich Text Form Controls can currently not be bound to database fields (this limitation is also documented in the specification which you cited, IIRC). If this gets implemented, the ODF format is most likely to be supported, perhaps also HTML and RTF. XHTML is quite improbably, simply because this would be a lot more effort: There doesn't exist any XHTML export facilities in OOo so far, so it would need a from-scratch-implementation. I doubt this effort would be justified - finally, ODF is OOo's story, not XHTML.
