Re: [office-collab] Backward compatibility and interoperability

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Svante,

Check the drafts folder for the ODF TC. There are any number of drafts 
with change tracking "on," for ODF 1.2.

Let's worry about interoperability for the processing of ODF documents 
as ODF documents, first. The other formats aren't going anyway. ;-)

If we do a good job with ODF, perhaps others will find something 
valuable in the approach. But that is a tomorrow question, not today.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
