And, again, why not send as native OASIS ODF 1.2? Rather than depending on
export filters to a proprietary MSO binary format, or a marginally functional
OOXML specification?

Office 365 Word, and Word 2013 handle ODF 1.2 reasonably well. At least as well
as LibreOffice documents exported to MSO .doc or OOXML .docx--of course for
specific uses like cross reference footnoting and YMMV.

ODF 1.2, or emerging 1.3, will likely never be perfect, especially as Microsoft
screws their own users on format consistency inter-release, but it is
functional for exchange. And as noted, if collaborative editing is not
needed--exchange of filter exported PDF is often sufficient.
