Hi Tom, all

Let me be the "Devil's advocate" for a moment...

MS keeps claiming that is what their new format is all about.  They
claimed it with Rtf which they no longer develop which fits their pattern
for gradually dropping completely and they are claiming it again with
their DocX and all.  

RTF is plain text with format codes. So it is true that you can open it even
in a text editor. Even if it is discontinued, it is not encrypted.
Docx is exactly the same as ODT. A Zip container which stores objects such
as images, formats and the actual text in a XML file.

Given that ODF 1.0 and 1.1 still open in LO, AOO and all the rest it looks
like ODF might achieve the promise, especially given that "contents"
written in Xml can be opened and read.

The same applies to MS Office. You can always open previous MS files in a
newer Office version.

As explained above ODF follows the same logic as OOXML ;)
In both cases you need to have some program that opens the zip container in
order to have access to the XML file which contains the text.

Cheers,
Pedro
