OpenDocument got a lot of publicity lately. StarOffice 8 and OpenOffice.org 2.0 finally arrived, and all the other makers of office suites (with the notable exception of Microsoft) have started implementing the new standard into their programs. Massachusetts recently decided to use OpenDocument as the standard file format, effectively locking out MS Office as soon as January 1st, 2007. Other countries are on their way to do the same. Also, OpenDocument recently got submitted to become an ISO standard.

"Export to xsl and make templates
"
Me izz Mr. Wise Guy tonight... XSL (resp. XSLT) is a language in which you can write templates to transform XML code - so no need to "export to XSL"
Okay, here's the serious part of my answer: Doesn't make sense - does it? Using XSL you can transform the XML Code of the OpenDocument format into something else. But you'd still need some new capability in the browser so that "something else"(tm) is displayed with the layout etc. of the original file.
