From: [...] Darius Could Open Office provide the ideal, standard, multi-lingual, multi-platform rich text format for Squeak?
Well, I don't have it installed on my iPAQ, and I rather doubt Tim has it installed on his Acorn. To my mind, one of the strengths of Squeak is that it *is* as self-contained as it is.
Speaking entirely personally, if I were doing this, I'd go with XHTML + CSS2 for the job - CSS3 if you're feeling adventurous - and try to construct the core of a layout system that could work with CSS features. You can do some pretty effective layout with those, their use is increasing, and we'd get the benefit of a kernel that could then be used for older (and often buggier) HTML. But then, I've been involved with W3C standards, so I guess I'm biased!
