Which is not appreciated at all.
Guys, I'm sure you're only using OpenOffice.org documents as an
example to facilitate discussing merge helpers, but I feel the need to
point out that one can already merge OpenOffice documents using
OpenOffice to do so. (And I have done so in the past while reconciling
differences between some spreadsheets).
It sounds like OOo itself can be counted as a "domain specific merge
helper" in the second sense of the word---it wouldn't work as a merge
driver but the end user can use it to merge the forked documents.
Which is good to know ;-)
