I mean that if ODF was a common denominator for iWorks->outside world too
then the future would be brighter. That's a wishful thinking of course.
Unless export of ODF was modernized, Apple is now way more closed-mindset

Looking at how lean the Keynote import plugin seems to be I was hoping it would. But \
I also just discovered that plugin doesn't work with my .key files - after I \

Not sure what you mean here; I'm looking for import of my .pages documents.<br>
I don't remember if and how well my version(*) of Pages exports to ODF format, \
