Re:portability warning

Standardzing the scripting language is fine, but not really that helpful. Writing an automatic converter for that is excedingly trivial. The hard part is writing a converter that deals with an entirely different object structure -- an API in programmer terms. Even if for some reason Open Office could run Microsofts VBA, this would be a major problem. Sort of like running a VBA script written for word in powerpoint. The language is the same, but the aplication is not.
