Yes. Which proves the point that "web technology" is not a well defined
term. I forgot to mention AJAX, which is neither an application, nor a
format, but is definitely a "web technology" :)

I understand you :)

Personally, I think that there's no good reason for KHTML to support ODF
because there's another KPart that does the job. You might make a case
for Firefox. As for the use case, web browsers would make nice ODF
viewers. In particular, if we can get ODF to piggy-back on the
popularity of Firefox, that would be a good aid. It's easier to convince
a government to publish documents as ODF if you say "12% of users
already have an ODF viewer installed".

Cheers,
Daniel.
