OOXML Transitional is definitely not recognized as a standard, and is specified in Part 4 of ISO/IEC 29500 exactly because is not a standard (to make it clear how it differs from the standard). OOXML Transitional was accepted to ease the transition to the standard, and as such should have lasted only a few years, while it has been used by Microsoft as the default OOXML format since forever. In addition, OOXML Transitional is different for each version of MS Office, and the differences are not documented (only the first OOXML Transitional was documented). In addition, OOXML Strict - which is the ONLY accepted standard - is almost impossible to obtain by normal users, as the process is far from the usual one, as in order to have an OOXML Strict you must save the document before performing ANY action (as otherwise the format switches to OOXML Transitional, which is not a standard). UK Cabinet Office has clearly documented the reasons why OOXML is not a standard file format. -- Italo Vignoli - LibreOffice Marketing & PR mobile +39.348.5653829 - email / jabber it...@libreoffice.org hangout / jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com - skype italovignoli GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
