I don’t see how low end devices benefit from first reading META-INF/container.xml and then whatever/somewhere.opf instead of just reading the OPF from a fixed location under META-INF. To me, the indirection looks like architecture astronautics or useless reuse of OASIS container.xml when no one really benefits from such reuse, since there are plenty of other reasons why EPUB and ODF are not compatible. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
