    When mentioning the OpenOffice.org application I'm refering to the
    OpenOffice.org XML file format, but not to OpenDocument. I'm mentioning
    the OpenOffice.org application only because it was the first office 
    application that implemented OpenOffice.org XML, and I wanted to emphasize 
    how long OpenOffice.org XML is in use already. Maybe we should rephrase the 
    question as follows:
    
    "OpenDocument is well tested. OpenDocument is already implemented by several
    office applications, and some of these applications use it as native file 
    format. Furthermore, OpenDocument is based on the OpenOffice.org
    XML file format, which is the default file format of the OpenOffice.org
    application since 2001. This includes the word processor, the spreadsheet,
    and the presentation applications of OpenOffice.org."
    
    Of course, a list of applications that implement OpenDocument might also be 
    helpful, but we may want to let the new OpenDocument Adoption TC collect this 
    list.
