Thanks for that link.  I'd not been following Leopard.  I  wish the
support or announcement had come earlier.  I won't be using Leopard, but
 plan to follow it anyway.

That was my guess when requesting OpenDocument support in TextEdit.  I
hope that they are able to follow through and provide full support for
the standard.
