[odf-discuss] Native ODF support in browsers

Sounds good, but konqueror (v 3.5.2 with KDE on Ubuntu 6.06 PPC) when I 
try it sends ODF files to an external application regardless of the mouse 
button or modifier key.  Though I can choose between Kword and OOo Writer 
an option for simply viewing does not seem to be there.

It sounds like there is potentially a different rendering engine there for 
each DTD, one for XHTML and one for ODF.  Is that correct?

What I am wondering about is the practicality of a generic XML rendering 
engine which can handle arbitrary DTDs, schemas.  There is a lot of not 
well-formed, invalid stuff calling itself HTML or XHTML, but I'm 
wondering about only the well-formed documents at this time.
