Does the law require these documents to be stored in the native binary
format, or would a paper copy archive be considered acceptable. In any
case, is this relevant to LO? Why wouldn't users simply keep an old
version of m$? Is it not possible for m$ to be used for legacy
documents and use LO for future documents in the native odf?
