I believe this is 100% true.

>I see this as a document-feature regression. 

Agreed.

However, both these formats(OpenOffice/MS Office) are much, much more powerful
than what the most users will ever need.

Also, it is only the OpenOffice code that can tell that the MS formats are
horrible and feeble. Normally the user has no idea about the pain & suffering
that the OpenOffice team went through. It just works.

>A I don't think that we want to be a clone product.

OpenOffice can do something that Microsoft can never do: create a stable product
that caters for common uses without introducing new formats unless there is a
genunine need for a new format based upon users requirements. 

This is in the users interest, but would be financial suicide for Microsoft.
