I guess you will say next the W3C standards are not international,
because they are not apporved by ISO.
OASIS *is* a standrardisation body and *is* international, the same as W3C
ISO is the most important standardisation body, but is not the only one.
The OpenDocument
format can be used by any office application,
*WHAT?* If by "any office application" you mean OpenOffice.org -
StarOffice
and KOffice - then sure.
Can we *PLEASE* be a little HONEST here?
Can be used = the specifications are public and free, so "any office
application" can use OpenDocument it it will implement input filters
This announcement is A) full of misleading statements - and B) more about
the danged format that the program.
I think you are wrong at A)
and B) is normal, as the ODF support is the most important new feature
How about you announce OpenOffice.org and not OpenDocument.
too bad we have such a big lag on the list, this kill fom he start any
possible flamewar.
anyway, nice try, Chad :D
+1, Nicu.
Some people just aren't happy unless they can find something to complain
about. It's especially entertaining when issuing the complaints is more
important than the real facts of the matter.
