well the comparison is a little flawed it says abiword displays the document differently then when it was saved in Kword but it doens't seem to compare OO to abiword.
although yeah i've seen a lot of difference between koffice and OO
it's largely due to kwords sort of halfway position between desktop publishing/layout and actual word processor.
it is kinda problematic though i admit you get something looking nice in koffice and it ends up looking like shit in OO.
though does .odt refer to just the document format or does the stadard also include spreadsheets and presentations (powerpoint)?

.odt is the text document format, .ods is the spreadsheet format and .odp handles presentations.
OpenDocument is basically the standard that encompasses the different document formats.
