We want OpenDOC to fail
Date:
The problem is more complicated than you suggest. Interoperability is a very complicated and confusing topic. The last thing we want to do is deal with testing or certifying anything for someone else. The thing I want to certify is that an APP is compatible with OLE. I hope OpenDoc does not achieve interop or does a terrible job. We *want* them to fail.
