Hi Tom ;)

If you re-write the document from scratch using exactly the same formatting
in
both then i would guess that LibreOffice generates the best and possibly
smallest .odt.


I did. It is not :) Since the MS ODF is so incomplete it manages to be the
smallest. And the OOo file is the second smallest (and in addition, valid!)

My only concern here is that TDF makes sure that the ODF files created with
LibreOffice are valid. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

And since Oracle seems to be dropping the ball on OpenOffice it would make
sense to have a validation tool on the TDF or LibreOffice site (I wouldn't
wait for OASIS...)

MSO's odf is inherently broken apparently (as mentioned fairly often by a
variety of people) so it's not really a fair contest.  A broken jug in
millions
of pieces can take up a lot less space than a full jug but it probably
can't
hold water.


TBH I'm glad that MS Office 2007/2010 even has ODF support. Of course they
aren't going to make it that good... After all it is in their best interest
that you use their proprietary file formats :)

Cheers!
