XLIFF and PO are the only 2 open standards that handle bilingual  
translation files.

The rest is not really relevant for a PO editor. Unless poedit gets  
to understand RTF, I don't see how it could support the other  
bilingual file format (not-open): TTX, so that really leaves us with  
XLIFF and PO, OLT's .xlz being a compressed XLIFF 1.0 it falls into  
the XLIFF category.
