OpenDocument 1.0

Tim Bray has commented on the announcement of OpenDocument 1.0. To quote:

Right now, it is the only XML office document format that is standardized, and it is also the only one that is complete; Microsoft's offering is full of holes, starting with the absence of PowerPoint. It's also completely 100% free of intellectual-property issues, anyone can use it for anything anytime anywhere without asking anyone first. Let me put it this way: if you occasionally create documents or spreadsheets or presentations, and if you think that you'd like to own them, independent of your Office software vendor, well, you have exactly one choice: OpenDocument.

It's going to be interesting to see what this might mean for records management, archiving and digital preservation...
