Depends on the documents. Few of ours are that critical and those that are
on on our own servers and backed up to several different places.  It would
be a nice to have but probably can't be too rigid because we share
documents with people outside our company too.

Sure if there was a web based OOo/LO we'd probably use it, but Google Docs
has a good head start and every day the gap to make the transition will get
bigger.
