Including the OpenDocument plugin by default (Portable AbiWord)

Howdy all,

This may have come up on the dev list before and I missed it, but I was
wondering if any thought had been given to including the OpenDocument
plugin in the base package of AbiWord? The idea has been floated to
include it by default in Portable AbiWord so that users of the full
Portable Suite (with OpenOffice.org) can exchange documents more easily
with users of the Lite version (with AbiWord but no OO.o).

Plugins are a bit more difficult to install in Portable AbiWord as the
plugins installer doesn't always correctly detect AbiWord even when
pointed at it, hence the possibility of including OD by default. Any
thoughts on this?

Side stat (kinda like a side note): Portable AbiWord has been downloaded
about 40,000 times as a standalone app and about 67,000 times as a part
of the Portable Apps Suite.

Regards,
John
