Yeah.  Two comments.

1) open source, and even closed source, need to be backing open
standards like ODF, not proprietary ones like MOOX.  Abiword is cutting
off not just their future, but also undermining everyone else's.

2) Abiword must have gone out of their way to avoid publicizing the ODF
proposal.  *I* never heard of their proposal and I would like to think
that I manage to keep somewhat abreast of ODF news.

How best to proceed?
