What Else Does OO3 Have?

No idea whatsoever. If so, I'd expect that to be through XSLT and that 
feature doesn't seem to be implemented yet. Or I'm just dumb and 
couldn't find it.

Me too. It's one of those things that is conceptually fairly simple and 
possibly not extremely difficult to implement, but which changes 
*everything*.
But, for some reason, I haven't used it in my outlines yet. Thing is, I 
don't have very long outlines usually...

Yeah but it might not satisfy the needs of feature freaks.

No idea and I'm wondering too, especially with academic pricing.

The XSLT is supposed to help converting between different formats. In a 
way, we can do some of that by ourselves, but they've been talking 
about an integrated feature.

Hehe!
Well, it still helps to emphasize this point. IMHO, what makes OO so 
special may not be feature X but the overall interface design. Feature 
freaks might not get it, but it matters. And OO is flexible enough that 
feature freaks can just work in their own features (through scripts, 
XSLT, Services...). The main thing, of course, is attachments. I didn't 
mention it again but it makes a whole difference. That was a major 
obstacle for some people, I'm sure...
In other words, the product will work on the market.
