Good point.  Main reason is that those projects were started back in 
2004 with OOo 1.x when ODF didn't exist yet, and some features do rely 
on OOo specificities at the moment.  I'll revise everything with the 
distinction in mind.

On a related note, I just checked Writely / Google Docs (which IMO is 
going to have a big impact) and their File menu says "Save as 
OpenOffice", not "Save as OpenDocument Text".  Maybe we should tell them 
as well?

Best regards

Mirko
