Hi,
Your project looks quite interesting especially as this is something missing
from OpenOffice.org. There may be people interested in working on this
integration as mentioned below.
Would you be interested in assisting with this ?
Do you think that the very brief approach I mentioned below is reasonable ?
Also, how close is your XML to be stable enough to freeze ?
And are you considering submitting this (or having it submitted) to the OASIS
group as a standard ?
Thanks
CPH
