You can't be serious. LibreOffice/OpenOffice has such low use in the
corporate world that I would be remiss to ask the other user to download a
~200MB software package just to view the document I send them. You just
don't play those kinds of games in the business world, not unless you want
to aggravate others for no gain (no, you won't increase LO/OO uptake by only
using non-Office formats, you'll just piss people off if you ask them to
install another software package for no discernible reason).
