I don't either. My point is simply that *if* sharing files (your #1)
is *a* goal, the target formats are *Office formats (.doc, OOXML, ODF
basically, and maybe we can ignore .doc in the near future).

Export, already demonstrated in practice. Import, I'll bet you my
dollars against your yen (up to a reasonable number like "20") that
getting separation of content from presentation (#2) right gets you
about 10% of the way to importing any of those formats reliably.

That's cheating, of course. :-) I don't have anything against that
strategy, personally (it's the one I advocate, after all). But there
are people who think that file sharing with non-Emacs users is a goal.
