The only way a ministry or IT department will change their minds is when ODT
support becomes a legal requirement, as is happening in some countries
already.
Until then they will drag their feet, follow the line of least effort, and go
on "as they have alwayd done" since any other route means having to change
the way they do things and (horror !) learn new things.
Cheers,
