Also, if they send DOC files, then it seems they are the ones who are up-to-date, since they know about OpenOffice.org, KOffice, etc. being available for Linux. Sending a DOC file just avoids re-creating a document in another strange format, and I think that is a "smart" thing.
I dont know what is smarter: Knowing HTML,Latex,Docbook or knowing *Office
I beleive HTML is one of the most versatile formats and people shpuld format their CV's in HTML
Also IMHO PDF is again one of the best formats for information sharing. The reader is free for Linux and Windows and you can make PDF's with ghostscript+pdflatex
I've seen people fretting over their .doc documents. Fonts, Indentation, it all seems to get messed up when you open .doc files in different Office suites.
