Why HDF does not for Word 2000?

[SomchaiDion <ls...@k3.dion.ne.jp>]

Dear sir,
    As I know, the Word97 document file format is not compatible in many
languages. The Word2000 is using Unicode an more internationlize. Why HDF
does not for Word2000?

Well, do you have any way that do not require more knowledge in the HDF for
contribution?
For example, you may make a Sample document file and XSL-FO result file in
English. Then, we just translate it to our language for you. And, you can
use those files compare the result of the HDF.

There were very few changes between Word97 and Word2000.  As a baseline 
we use 97 file formats for all office file formats.  Thats not to say 
that if there is a 2000 feature we really want to support that adding a 
"2000 features on" flag and allowing such functionality is not allowed.

HDF is in alpha stage by my judgement nor can it write.  Therefore the 
best way to ensure we meet your needs is through contribution.  This is 
especially in the case of multi-lanugage support where the bulk of the 
committership might not be able to read it.  (So far we're still in 
desperate need of committers from non-Roman alphabet native countries)
