Hi! Sorry for top-posting, but on the road...
It's an interesting idea. Given that LibreOffice is clearly becoming the best office suite choice for privacy, something like ".pdt" (private document text) would probably be a better choice.
OTOH, there's been a lot of work over the last decade to spread awareness of ODF and its extensions, so making such a big change could be very difficult. And that's just from the marketing side -- I'm not sure what would happen on various operating systems if one new LibreOffice release started saving in .pdt rather than .odt, and how the OSes would handle the file associations...

ODF stands for Open Document format. We do understand that its definitions are open, not its content. Words have feelings associated to it. Open is fine for the standard, but not for my content. The cloud business has made the options for privacy warriors less. LibreOffice being one of the most important tools for maintaining standard office files like text, sheets, presentations, and graphics in a privacy protecting environment. A typical case of given strength. The market runs in the direction of stealing as much as possible data via clouds. Our strength therefor is growing, becoming more and more part of the privacy environments. For marketing reasons, therefor, I suggest introducing new filename extensions (technical, fully exchangeable with the existing once). Names emphasizing private ownership. .odt = .mdt (open document text / MY document text) .ods = .mds (open document spreadsheet / MY document spreadsheet) .odp = .mdp (open document presentation / MY document presentation) .odg = .mdg (open document graphics / MY document graphics) With kind regards, Cordiali saluti, Met vriendelijke groet, Everardo Boudi van Vlijmen. *Because email is an old and insecure first generation internet protocol we will, **in time, stop** to use email.
