There is also a downside to this in that the real benefit of ODF over MS OOXML is that its seen to be multi-application. If the image is projected that ODF is effectively controlled by OpenOffice.org (or worse, Sun) and not OASIS, it will significantly weaken that advantage. At the current state of play in the politics I'd play up the fact that there is expertise in ODF in many applications and communities, particularly when talking to governments.
