This week, anyway ...
But it is a real problem.
Last time I looked at a OpenOffice file, it was a compressed zip archive
containing several files
the actual text coded as XML
the style sheet for presenting said XML
a few other things, maybe the DTD, I forget.
But we won't be able to properly merge these files unless we do
unarchive and rearchive them.
I suspect with the absurd bulkiness of XML notation, this won't be the
last case we encounter where compression interferes with merging.
