That sort of sarcasm has a tendency not to work out in the
longer run.

Anyway, my personal preference (since that's what we're all
asserting) is to use a format supported by a wider variety
of tools, and that appears to be pdf.  But that said, if we
want a soupy format that supports animation and splashy
backgrounds and WYSYWIG editing and all the stuff we've
been conditioned to love, why not go with a something like ODF -
the tools really are free and it's supported on a wider
variety of platforms.  That is to say, it seems possible to
me that OpenOffice may not be the workaround, but rather
the solution.

Perhaps folks will write HTML5 apps for all that splashy stuff. :)
