    Hi, all TC members,
    This is Alex Wang, chairman of UOML TC. Since there is a natural relationship between ODF and UOML, I would like to introduce our TC to all of you, and we sincerely want to cooperate with you.
    UOML (Unstructured Operation Markup Language) is trying to construct a unified operation interface, which can hide the detail information of documents format. Any software which supports UOML should be able to open documents generated by both UOML software and non-UOML software. Thus UOML provide another way for Open Office to edit MS Office document. Under this model, Open Office needn't parse MS Office file format, totally avoid format compatible risk.
    The first edition of UOML work draft has just been published. It can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uoml/document.php?document_id=23271. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.
    Red Office, an Office suite based on Open Office, support UOML, ODF and UOF. Therefore, one can append ODF document upon MS Office document by RedOffice.
    We will upload RedOffice and UOML Writer later. In additional, I will attend OASIS Symposium, ODF workshop and ODF join TC meeting next week. I'd like to make a presentation of how to interoperation between Open Office and MS Office by UOML there.
    Expecting to meet you next week.
    
    -Alex

    Nice use of a proprietary document format for the specification itself (.doc)...
    May I suggest using ODF instead?
