Historically, what is now the ODF TC (for OpenDocument format) was originally named the OpenOffice TC and the name of the TC and of the specification was changed by a Charter update just before ODF 1.0 was proposed and published as an OASIS Standard. (And people asked, why didn't Microsoft join at the beginning and simply contribute to and adopt this universal format?! Lots of magical thinking was at work.)

As far as the test directory names are concerned, I would suggest docx and odt. These are easily-recognisable strings anyone likely to look through the repository will be familiar with, and avoid the unfortunate “Open Office” <-> “Office Open” confusion that must have been a completely accidental outcome in the decision of what to name the spec... — Dr Peter M.
