   I dunno if I qualify as a silverback, but I think I'd throw my vote
behind text/vnd.abisource.abiword, for one simple reason: extensibility.
Let's say that one day we do develop AbiSpreadsheet, or whatever it's
called - I'd rather see that become text/vnd.abisource.abispreadsheet rather
than text/vnd.abispreadsheet.

   Just my $0.02
