btw, one of the things I want to talk about is open standards - I wanted to create a doc file and an odt file, open both in a text editor and show that the doc file is full of binary junk, whereas the odt file is in xml format - but I find that when I did it, the odt file was also full of binary junk - how do I get it in xml format?
IMHO, it may **not** be the best possible example. Given the generic nature of the audience and the example in this case, if someone opens up a .docx file instead of a .doc file using a decompression utility, it would look very close to the .odt experience - a bunch of XML files.
just my 2p :)
