It’s surprising and somewhat ironic that a description I wrote on the OpenOffice Wiki is the top hit for OOXML and not microsoft.com ;) As others have mentioned, .docx is indeed OOXML - at least this is the conventional file extension for what is officially a WordProcessingML document in an OOXML package. As far as the test directory names are concerned, I would suggest docx and odt.
