Version 3 is using the same file name extension, .oo3, for documents
stored as pure xml, zip compressed xml, and for the directory that
wraps documents with attachments. While I like having all of these
options, it makes taking advantage of the benefits of xml more
difficult. For other applications to handle the .oo3 files, they need
to know more than just the extension to parse the xml, they must have
additional OmniOutliner specific implementation knowledge to
discriminate between the different document formats.
Now that OOv3 is released, it is probably too late to change, but it
would be nice to have the option to use different file extensions for
the different file formats. Perhaps something like,
.oo3 for the current behavior
.o3x for xml text
.o3z for zip compressed
.o3a for documents with attachments
