Much to my surprise, PJ just put my wrap-up on Groklaw, as well

It's dumb in a way but I had not really thought about how to handle people sending me documents to date. Leading on from that you can avoid some of the 'upset' if the document is invited by asking, politely, for it to be submitted in an ISO approved standard like ODF up front. If you routinely get documents sent in make it known you infinitely prefer the ISO standard of ODF. Sure some will still thoughtlessly send you MS formats but it starts the process, it helps emphasise there is an ISO standard out there etc. I shall be putting a little note on my website next time I edit it even though few send me documents and trying to remember to do so when I am 'inviting' documents in other ways. Simply to make the point politely up front I have a prefered standard has value in 'spreading the word' there is one out there; even if many will ignore it.

which made me think that maybe there could be a web button for this, that essentially says "Please send me documents in the ISO-based Open Document Format (ODF)" -- only in a more elegant way.
