Looking at the end result is the wrong thing to do.  Its unlikely to give you 
real objective judgement over how a product is produced by looking at the end 
results.
The technical committee mailing list is public and by extention, so is the way 
the format has been developed.
If someone takes the chance to look at the process itself, they will never say 
it is merely a memory dump basically because OOo is hardly the only nor the 
greatest force behind the format.

I personally think that a person like Håkon will find it very hard to listen 
to arguments, he really just wants to talk.
