The ODF spec appendix C (MIME Types) specifies the .ott extension (and
friends) along with their mimetypes. The difference between .ott
and .odt is the mimetype. Unzip an ODF file, and look at the file called
'mimetype'. It's a one-line file. That's the difference.

Because .ott & friends are specified in the ODF spec, I disagree with
Thomas that this is an "OOo invention". They are part of the spec.

Cheers,
Daniel.
