Can they convert XML formats via XSLT? If not, I'm sure they could use
Gnome's libxml to accomplish this. With XSLT functionality, they could
use our XSLT to convert ODF to HTML and get an ODF viewer on the cheap.
I don't know how much work it would be for them to do this, but I'm sure
it would be much less than creating a native renderer.

If every browser besides IE supported ODF that would be quite a news
item.

More realistically, if any given browser gets ODF support, _that_ would
be a news item. And it would promote both ODF and said browser.

Cheers,
Daniel.
