HOWEVER

But there is one special trick to ODF that nobody ever uses. Zip is -NOT- required by the specification.

Well, I might be wrong on this. The spec says "uses" a packaging format, though the wording does not say "shall" or "may." However, there is talk on the opendocument list about this, calling it the "flat xml" format. The spec doc is terribly vague in a lot of areas.

sorry. I'll crawl back into my hole now. :)
