Michael Stahl: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-1436 Patrick: Michael, is the user interested in diffs or simple storage of prior versions Patrick: Regina suggests the flat format could be used as an option Patrick: Possibly unclear what the user is requesting in terms of version - heaps of older documents? Patrick: If diffs or GitHub are not requirements, then Michael's Office-1436 looks promising.
