Of course, the most important conversion isn't from OpenDoc to OOXML or vice versa: it's a
down conversion from either OpenDoc or OOXML to XHTML. The HTML exporters in OpenOffice
and Microsoft Office are uniformly atrocious. Look for third-party developers to pick up
the slack. Most important, look for individual corporate developers and webmasters
to begin publishing custom templates for their sites. This will enable regular folks to
write in Microsoft Word as they're accustomed to doing and then upload their musings
straight into the local content-management system. Editing and reviewing tools can be built right in. Because machines generate all the markup (the humans see the GUI interface they're used to), well-formedness will be a freebie. The majority of the Web won't be well-formed by the end of 2008, but a larger percentage will be than today.
