Re: [odf-adoption] XML 2007

Hi Dee,

I can't speak for IBM, KDE, Google, and others, but Sun would support
an ODF interop demo at XML 2007.

Like the ODF camps focus on the existing issues, the interop demo can
focus on all the things that already do work across the various ODF
implementations.


Best regards,
Erwin
