LOL. The OO format is nothing other than compressed XML. Take an
.xsw file for example, unzip it and page it...

And with all the political talk I think we have found a perfect
"raison d'etre" for the Scottish LUG (versus the Glasgow LUG).
With SLUG we can have one interface to all of of Scottish politics,
and we can all contact our local MSPs.
