Hi all, I am about to answer to a letter from the Danish "Expert committee for open standards" settled by the Danish Government.
I have been talking to Thorsten Behrens regarding the technical details. Now I would like to discuss how I am going to express this in my answer. My answer must be the truth and I can't risk to say one thing and then something else is expressed in e.g., a press release later. The question: Which of the standards (by name and version number and amendment) are supported in the application? The technical answer I got from Thorsten: 1. ISO/IEC 29500:2008:OOXML Amendment 1 – LibreOffice is a conforming base consumer according to ISO/IEC 29500-1:2008 §2.6, and a conforming producer and consumer according to ISO/IEC 29500-4:2008 §2.2 My question is: Do we publicly and officially support ISO/IEC 29500:2008:OOXML? Of cause if we do - then we do. But from a political point of view I would rather write something about how we have not been able to support it (several reason e.g., its a moving target, faulty and inconsistant etc.) but we do what we can to support the file format implemented by MS Office 2007: .docx. Please - what do you think?
