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.
