Comments:
We should ask for forgiveness rather than permission on the OpenOffice
vs OpenOffice.org business, apparently just like Oracle is doing.
I realize that the way I've used Open Document Format is not correct,
but I like the impression it leaves...LibO supports the Open Document
Format. The quasi-monopolist supports a subset of the Office Open XML
format of the Open Document standard.
Not sure that LibreOffice runs on "any platform". Maybe that should be
"all popular platforms" or "cross platform". Not a big deal. It
actually would be a good argument to have...who supports the most
platforms.

Added the bit about ODF and URLs that someone suggested.
