Does it provide automatic checking of forms you fill? Conditional questions in 
forms based on previous answers? Automatic copy-paste of identical information 
being asked more than once?

I can understand and appreciate how such a thing could be quite helpful when 
you fill out a bunch of documents at once.

The *idea* of what PDF provides (this latest functionality that has been 
discussed in this thread) is good. The *implementation* is bad and 
proprietary. But unless ODF provide equivalent functionality, this bad and 
proprietary implementation of a good idea is the only option, and people are 
going to use it.

Best, :-)
