<hr />
<div>[[OpenDocument]] is a proposed standard office-type document format for use in the EU etc.; see http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050130002908154 for more detail.<br />
<br />
Currently it has its own custom format for graphics elements, similar to [[OpenOffice]].org's Draw format, and also somewhat similar to SVG in some areas.<br />
<br />
Clearly it would be good both for SVG, Inkscape, and the success of the [[OpenDocument]] standard, if [[OpenDocument]] were to use SVG to the extent possible, such that any SVG-compliant renderer could render the <svg> parts of the document.<br />
<br />
(See also the inkscape-devel mailing list, subject "filter for inkscape and [[OpenDocument]]".)<br />
<br />
The current [[OpenDocument]] specification is available at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office .<br />

From Daniel Carrera:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
It is very important to get representation in the OASIS TC from multiple<br />
interested parties. The goal is to make a format acceptable to everyone,<br />
and that can only be done if people participate in the discussion.<br />
<br />
Also, right now they wer working on the next version of the format. The<br />
one that'll meet all of the EU's requirements. And they are in the<br />
official "request for public comentary" period until Friday. So, the best<br />
time to raise a concern is right now. Send them a comment.<br />

Something that may be helpful in getting greater SVG interoperability in the [[OpenDocument]] standard is to document what bits of the [[OpenDocument]] specification correspond to</div>Ns4Sso
