[odf-discuss] .ott file format

[Damon Anderson]

Daniel,

A technical question about ODF. How does the specification define the  
transition between ASCII, extended, ASCII, and UTF-16HEX. I see OOo making  
mistakes for example where they convert the ampersand (&) to HTML (&)  
rather than UTF-16HEX, that can't be allowed in the ODF spec surely?

- English is a Germanic derived language filled with romance... but ASCII  
is the greatest current limitation in finding a common format for all the  
world's computer users to communicate with. *** BAN ASCII ***
