OpenOffice.org also has m$ compatability. OpenOffice.org's native format is
also XML, but it's compressed. Easy enough to gunzip it and play w/ CVS if
the internal tool isn't good enough.

I'll have to look at that for the presentation stuff. I love magicpoint
because it's easy to shove into a revision control system, but if I can do
that from Impress that'd rock.
