If "incomplete" means that it does not cover all the features, then the Office 2003 XML file format is incomplete for Excel but complete for Word. PowerPoint 2003 IIRC does not have an XML file format at all! The "old" XML file formats is not an "experiment" as Daniel wrote. I would call it a joke. :-) The Office12 format will be complete for all applications. > That is you cannot take what MS has documented and implement a working > format, too many key components are wrapped up in the binary extensions. > So in short it's not quite truthful to compare MOOX with OpenDocument. > OpenDocument is complete.

Could you please elaborate?
