So after downloading and installing this one, I realized it's an
older version, not the new one with the cool new XML stuff.

For some reason the "Get Binaries NOW" link on http://www.openoffice.org/
points to the old binaries at www.sun.com instead of the new ones
that are linked from the "Download" link in the left side nav bar:

   http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/download.html
-> http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/get_binaries.html

arg... oh well, didn't take long to download even though it was 95 megs.

I installed the new one ("Build/Tag number OpenOffice605") and
played with it a bit, and it seems pretty good except for a few
minor annoyances. The XML output looks good [1], and a simple
HTML document I made was valid HTML 3.2.
