Zoho Writer: Rosetta Stone between ODF and OOXML?

Could a Web 2.0 service become a Rosetta Stone-like gateway between the two incompatible file formats of the next decade--ODF and OOXML? Maybe so. Zoho Writer just announced the ability to export documents to OOXML, and in response to my comment on TechCrunch, Sridhar Vembu of Zoho says it will also be able to import documents from OOXML soon: "Give us a few weeks!" Since the Zoho Writer Web site says it already reads and writes OpenOffice documents, this could be big news, provided it works well. Fortunately, I've got a good test document to try out.
