Story: ISO calls for end to OOXML 'personal attacks'
O(O)XML and .docx
Don't loose site of the fact that even Microsoft's own products do not support O(O)XML at this point in time.
.docx is just another iteration of Microsoft's proprietry formats, but it is not O(O)XML compliant, although I think Microsoft would have the uninformed believe that their formats are now standards compliant.
I note that many comments appear to suggest an implied acceptance of .docx as compliant. I'm sure that's a fiction which Microsoft are extremely keen to promulgate.
