Well, OpenOffice never says it saves in XML, at least not that I
noticed. It says it saves in it's native format, which happens to be
based on XML. Saying that you save to XML is meaningless anyway, you
need to be more specific about what kin dof XML. Regardless, calling it
proprietary in any way is just wrong. It isn't.
In any event, this has strayed horribly far from anything that can be
regarded as on-topic, so this will be my last post on the subject.
