Dear Tom,

do you have any references to those court cases? Sounds very 
interesting. RTF is in Slovakia  one of the officialy approved standards 
to be used by public administration (besides pdf, odf and HTML). Of 
course, since MS is everywhere and everybody uses RTF. Information about 
those court trials would be a nice argument against RTF, the 
compatibility of which in LO/OO/OOO is really pain. This would show why 
is it so.
