Microsoft makes only one office suite.
Are you sure that different versions of MS Office use different APIs? In
any event, if they did, I don't see how that would help them have lock
in. Maybe it does, but I don't see it right now.
I honestly believe that if something like that happened, it would
*kill* OpenDocument
I have specified that I don't think it would belong to OpenDocument,
I think only a body like OASIS or ISO or W3C could make something like
this acceptable to large institutions.

I don't think I follow anything you just said. I said that the
OpenDocument specification should not include an office suite API. You
replied that "only a body like ISO could make this acceptable to large
institutions". What does that have to do with what I said?
OpenDocument should not have an office suite API because, it would make
the specification impossibly complicated and raise the barrier for
adoption prohibitively high.
