Do they? That's not my impression. As well, each arguably differs in  
its support of ODF. EZ is not the same as Alfresco, for instance, in  
this regard; and neither Drupal nor Plone, I believe native support  
it. If they use a converter or library that is fairly standard, then  
clearly, the situation differs, and we are talking about inviting the  
maintainers of those tools.

I fully agree. My interest rather lies in those CMSes (and other apps)  
that have implemented their own technologies to express ODF. That  
could just be one or two.
