RTF is a much simpler format than ODT. RTF source code resembles TeX at first glance; ODT is based on XML.

Unfortunately, it's not an open standard AFAICT.

It's not a standard in the sense of an ISO-style organization approval, but RTF has been thorougly documented by Microsoft for a very long time. [0]

Right, I think it still may be a de facto standard from MS. It was so then.
