Concerning the OT about binary representations (namely, OLE embedding) in the flat XML:
There is no prohibition in ODF to storing the OLE-embedding in-line using <office:binary-data> to carry the embedded OLE in a base64Binary representation as text. In the ODF 1.2 specification, this opportunity is explicitly called out. The storage inflation is a tolerable 0.33 x the binary size in bytes, although it also takes longer to parse through the stream (something the Zip avoids by having the OLE in a separate binary Zip part and by using compression wherever possible). It is simply a matter of implementing it. It would be interesting to make some test documents that exercise that provision and see what happens. - Dennis PS: There is one challenge. There is currently no way to carry a MIME type with the <draw:object-ole> or its <office:binary-data> child, so it may be tricky to know whose serialization of the OLE embedding is being used. It appears that Sun/OOo have their own, and Microsoft uses a different one. It may require that recognition of the embedding format be distinguishable by sniffing the binary data. -----Original Message----- From: Marcello Romani [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 04:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Flat xml format (.fodt) broek/unsupported on LibreOffice writer 3.4.3, Windows 7 ?

I always thought it would have been nice to have svn-versionable documents... Pity it has problems with images embedded as OLE objects, but that'd be a different thread (and I'm talking about OOo here...)
