I can't hear you. Stop ranting.
>>...The new native Office format is XML, it can
be parsed easily, after parsing you can save it
any format that trips your trigger...<<

Same for open document, right?

>>...There simply IS NO LOCK IN. At least not to
anyone capable of parsing XML...<<

Not now, there isn't. But can you say with an
absolute certainty that will always be the case?

>>...And to top it all off, ANYONE can use it by
signing up for a license at ZERO cost...<<

All that is required with open document is abide
by the terms of the license. No need to sign up
or register.

>>...And as an extra bonus, you can use
Information Rights Management to control WHO can
see the document, WHEN they can see it, and HOW
long they can see it...<<

For government documents now freely available to
the public? You think that should be closed
off???
