The reasons are of a practical nature. ODT files are hard(er) to varify, because they are just zip files that could contain anything. Also, they can contain things like java applets, which are potentially dangerous. I think these are the resons for not allowing office-style formats. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
