Re: Is ODF a second-class citizen in KWord?

Well, it's really really hard to implement 100% of any specification. It *is* impossible for OOXML (far too big + some undocumented things), and for ODF it's just hard and needs time.
(BTW, a full ODF implementation requires Java since you're supposed to be able to embed Java applets in an ODF document)

Now this is strange...
Is Java an ISO standard?

Supporting java applets should be extremely easy since way java support is implemented in khtml means applets can be embedded by simply using KJavaAppletWidget.

btw, a 100% implementation would also require OLE (9.3.3), DDE (4.4.3, 6.6.9, 8.10), binary plugins (9.3.5), multiple scripting-languages (or at least all that got used by competitors, 2.5), multiple database-drivers (or at least all that got used by competitors, 6.5, 8.6.2), would need to even know about custom app- (2.4) and meta-data (3.3), macros (6.6.7), Change Tracking (8.10), would need a audio-/soundplayer (9.7.1), etc. and that's just a quick look at the table of content ;)
