First of all, I said "technically sound and light on the server",
meaning that, while the real problem is anything but technical at this
point, the way he proposed to not see OOXML attachments is the
heaviest one on the recipient's server.
This, however:

is exactly what still happens today if you send any contract proposal,
expense estimate etc... in ODF format to most offices. It will be
rejected manually, rather than from a server, but the result is the
same. What I am saying is that we must ask our Public Administration
to _keep_ doing the same, just rejecting _non_ ODF files.
