MediaFire appears to use the same blurb for OOXML files (such as DOCX) as well as ODF files (such as ODT): --- About Document Formats Microsoft published the specs for XML file formats in 2003 and licensed them to competitors. Over the years there has been a push toward an open standards environment, and currently Open XML and Open Document Format (ODF) are at the forefront. The XML format is very much in favor because data in a file can be reused. This reuse was not possible with binary file formats. The XML format is expected to be the future of document file formats. --- In the case of OOXML, "Microsoft published the specs for XML file formats in 2003 and licensed them to competitors" may be correct, but I feel like that sentence is a bit misleading for ODF or other non-MS XML document formats. Perhaps just dropping the sentence altogether might be preferable. --R -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
