Re: [seul-edu] doc standard instead of Software standard?

Thanks for the ideas.  

One hard part is convincing the admin that it is a 
security risk they need to be concerned with.  How did 
you folks learn -- the hardway I suppose?

How did you handle training everyone to save using the 
other formats?  As many times as I show people, they 
just seem to have a hardtime doing something that isn't 
default.  (That's one reason I am in favor of requiring 
a non-proprietary default save -- the other is we have 
some problems with incompatible versions -- that can't 
be converted.  Old MS Works that word doesn't seem to 
like and old word 5 files that can't be read on certain 
platforms if they contain equations and some other 
objects -- even by new word products (well it actually 
depends on the platform).

I kind of like the HTML idea, it allows pictures and 
many other features including tables and soon equations 
-- however, it is an evolving standard -- can you think 
of any tags that aren't backwardly compatible?

Bill
