Subject: RE: [oiic-formation-discuss] Proposed Use case -- Interoperability in vertical and horizontal ODF markets
I just created a rule to delete all of marbux's messages. I must say, it does make the backlog of emails a lot easier to read. And, since his messages just seem to be quoted in replies, it cuts down on the number of times I have to read the legal garbage. Garry L.

As above. If the other app doesn't support ODF that's a no go area as I see it. If you want to propose that, IMHO that's a feature request? > > There unquestionably is such a market requirement. +1.

ISO is starting to look at that.
