Sorta. How about a browser (CyberDog?) that will create other OpenDoc parts
based on the file extension? File extension -> MIME type -> OpenDoc part.
I'm writing a OpenDoc based email program and would like people to send
arbitrary documents that would also include Java applets. The way I'm doing
it, it would be easy if there was an OpenDoc Java interpreter. Why limit
Java to the web?
