[... lots of bitching about incompatible RTF formats was snipped ...]
I suggest that AbiWord consider each RTF implementation to be a separate
file format. In other words, when you ask it to import/export RTF, then
you have to specify also what other word processor you want it to be
compatible with. This is not different in principle from supporting all
those different PCX file formats with different bpp, palette, etc.
combinations, which the various bitmap manipulation programs do nicely,
thank you.
