Given the fact that the Microsoft fines court case is still, after
Microsoft's appeal, *sub judice*, I should rather expect that the company
will attempt to be seen as playing nice with odt files, while at the same
time placing subtle (?) barriers in the way of OOo users. Something on the
order of supporting odt 1.1, but not odt 1.2, perhaps ?...
