Story: OOXML expert: ODF standard is broken
Point 3 wrong
Your 3rd point claims that the Office Open XML specifcation is not valid. This is not correct. The Office Open XML specification document is actually fully valid Office Open XML. It validates 100% correctly against the current XML schema provided with the Ecma-376 standard specification.
On point 2 a note that actually both Japan and Great Britain during the OOXML standardization submitted issues on the OOXML schema's allthough walid W3C schema's did not function with certain XML validators and OOXML was actually modified to accomodate some of those issues. For example issues jp-0002 and gb-0622.
Rob Weir never complained when counting those as issues on OOXML and that Ecma changed thing to accommodate those issues shows that in OOXML thing were changed to improve validation where Rob Weir just suggests diabling certain validations from the ODF schema's to make schemavalidators work. I guess he thinks validator issues are only issues when it applies to OOXML.
