These guys are _very_ liberal in what they'll accept -- definitely out of 
step with the trends. I realize I've made this observation many many 
times before, but I'll say it again: most government contract 
specifications _require_ that the work product be submitted in Word 
format, sometimes even Word for Windows. (Those that don't specify 
Windows probably don't realize that Word for the Mac even exists. If they 
did, they'd probably prohibit that too.) This situation is bad and 
getting steadily worse.
