Hi So, instead of fighting over ODF/OOXML which can survive with or without each other, perhaps ISO/W3C/OASIS/IETF etc should focus on a (possibly) XML based archive format for documents and data which preserves basic layout, links, binary objects (like jpg, avi, etc) as part of the format. Open Office and Microsoft can conform to Government requirements by having a "Save Archive" option. All sorts of applications, not just office functions could target the archive format for long term storage and searching. Rick PS This is not a request to return to SGML, although it could once again be the starting point.
