Well, lemme also throw in a slightly offtopic comment: We *are* (well, at least I am) competing
with other applications like OpenOffice. We think (or at least try) we can write a better application in terms of speed, ease of use,
presenting a familiar looking interface to the user and even functionality. Especially the functionality part might be of interest here: if we think of some functionality which no other application supports, than we would probable have a hard time adjusting the OASIS file format for it. For example: our automagically updating Fields are not supported by OASIS AFAICT...
But you can correct me if I'm wrong...
