In other words: while an account at Google does not cost money,Google
Docs is just as proprietary as MS-Office and Acrobat Reader[1]. I would not
have wanted to be forced to have an account there in order to interact
with school.

[1] PDF itself is not bad as it has some other good alternatives
implementations. However relying on in-line remarks in the PDF file,
which is, AFAIK, supported only by the Adobe reader, is not a good idea.
