I think you could significantly improve the compression on the odt docs

Acctually I thought that it was kinda obvious and I was thinking that you'd want to fix it before your ODT standard was widly adopted.
It would be easier to change the code of 10 programs then 1000 once you finally retire the standard.
You could also develop a split in the standard and call the files *.ODT2.
Personally I was shocked how bad the compression was. I expected maybe I'd get 5% or (if I was really lucky) 15% better compression, but 25%! That's (as someone already pointed out) HUGE!
I am advising to fix the spec before the cat gets out of the bag.

Frank,

Wrong venue... take the suggestion to the standards group for ODF

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office

The LibreOffice project is simply an implementer and has greater issues with ODF standards.

Kind regards,

Stuart

Huu, you might have missed the last five years where odt is already widely
used.

Also, you should warn microsoft before their docx stuff get in the wild
too, as they also use the zip file format.
