Good idea.  I wonder if Opera is OK with the MIT license?

That would be a coupe.  I agree with the comment (from Ian?) that there 
would be a synergistic effect with the browsers and open standards.

Myself, I would like to read a layman's overview of how Konqueror supports 
ODF and other formats.  The discussion in this thread has been most 
helpful, but it's more fun to read even the same thing in a more 
public, higher profile place.  Some sites pay for such articles.
