S=E5vidt jeg har klart =E5 bringe p=E5 det rene, er det OpenOffice som ha=

bidratt med sitt format til OASIS, se:

http://xml.openoffice.org/

Man sier her:

"XML file formats allow a user to regain ownership to his/her own data,
by allowing access and manipulation of office documents by arbitrary
tools which support the file format. To make such capability ubiquitous,
we believe it is necessary to standardize file formats. Thus, we have
contributed the OpenOffice.org XML File Format to OASIS. The OASIS Open
Office XML Format Technical Committee will work on creating an open XML
file format for office documents, using the OpenOffice.org format as a
base."

OOo 1.1 later ikke til =E5 ha noe "nytt" filformat: i "Save
as..."-dialogen st=E5r det fremdeles "OpenOffice.org 1.0 Text Document
(.sxw)".

Det fremg=E5r imidlertid i referater fra fra OASIS-komiteens m=F8ter (se
