This is closed, wontfix. Do not reopen it ;)
The Output File Format from localize tools is called GSI because the developer Gutschmidt invented that file format and called it "gutschmidt's interface." Isn't it good to know this?
Now I am still wondering why GSI is also called SDF.
Sun Developers Format or Self Defense Forces??
Some curious friends from discuss@ja.openoffice.org investigated on SDF.
- String Data File??

- Simple Document Format (Is this it?)
SDF (Simple Document Format) is a freely available documentation system designed and developed by Ian Clatworthy, with help from many others. Based on a simple, readable markup language, SDF generates high quality output in multiple formats, all derived from a single document source. Supported output formats include HTML, PostScript, PDF, man pages, SGML, POD, LaTeX, GNU Info, MIF, RTF, Windows help and plain text.
