    has a good point:

    "do we really want to work on _export_ filters for an old binary file
    format? We have already dropped export to the binary StarDivision
    formats (.sdd) and to the XML-formats of OpenOffice.org1.0 (.sxi)."


AFAIK the reason StarDivision binary formats were dropped because the implementation was tightly coupled with the core and was a maintenance burden. The idea was to re-implement the filters properly if it will be necessary (it wasn't).

well there is "libstaroffice" now, but of course it's import-only and still incomplete.

The OpenOffice.org1.0 export was dropped because ODF filter is actually as good or better.

... because there's ~ 0 software that can read OOoXML but not ODF.
