this may be a bit offtopic :) ...
but i think we agree that this situation is not good.
is there any 'official' standard for office documents like there is for
html, css, xml etc.?
if not, are there any efforts to create one?
if such a standard would be created by an international institution and
for example governments start/plan using it MS would be forced to adapt
it...
