Z:gnu-www-ja-google-engineering-talk--d6e723-We have to convince people to/en

We have to convince people to insist on publicly documented standard formats that everyone is free to implement. And Word format is the worst offender and so that's the best place to start. If somebody sends you a Word file, don't try to read it. Write back, saying "you really shouldn't do that." And there's a page in www.gnu.org/philosophy which is good to reference. It gives an explanation of why this is an important issue.
