Let's check into this. Presumably the government could setup their own
schema and save using that, right?
How well do programs that work under GNU/Linux handle this? The LDP HOWTO
HOWTO might cover that.
What are the default formats for the various FS/OSS programs? Can they
read/write each other's native formats? Is there a push to standardize on a
particular format for specific functionality, e.g. word processor XML
schema, spreadsheet schema, SQL schema, etc.
