The development of OMDoc 2.0 has already begun, this will be a general (backwards-incompatible) overhaul of the document format, that will take all the experiences with OMDoc 1 into account and track all the developments of web standards since OMDoc 1.2. The development proceeds in steps; see the Development Plan for an overview and roadmap for a progress report in terms of GitHub tickets.
the OMDoc format is mainly intended for machine consumption. You do not want to look/edit it in this form. For viewing, transform it into html or LaTeX (see the [ToolsSystems tools] section, for editing use an OMDoc or xml editor.
