lol :-)

Still, I'll take my OpenDocument over proprietary document formats any day.

And the ability to "grep" through them with xmlstarlet is pretty cool.  As a
command-line front-end to libxml2 and xslt, it gives you the power of other
languages right at your console.  I can imagine using this as a validation
tool perhaps, or for generating XSLT. [1]
