I have some python code that I should be able to adapt to do this. But
note that there are probably two metrics of interest:
1) Which ODF "features" (elements/attributes/attribute values)are used
most frequently by raw counts?
2) Which features are used in most documents?
It is possible that a particular element is used only once per document,
but is used in every ODF document. If so it is important, since everyone
will need to understand it. In other cases, a particular element will be
repeated a thousand times when it is used, but is used only in rare
documents. So there are two different kinds of "popularity" here.
Also, does anyone have a large collection of ODF documents that could be
tested in this way? I suppose, even if you had such documents
internally,you could use the python script to do the study and just upload
the results. This is easier than uploading the documents themselves.
