i have questions. ooxml is now an iso standard and odf is the same? correct?
doesn't it mean therefore that OpenOffice, Google Docs, iWork and everybody else now can now parse Microsoft Office formats much better? That OO and the rest have no excuse anymore not to be able to render properly data from .doc, xls, .ppt to say their own native file formats? and if say I (or anybody else for that matter) would like to write an App that reads/writes MSOffice format... i can now do so without any problem or worry the big bad wolf from redmond would rain holy hell on my house because they've has "opened" the standard up. that the landscape is now fair game for every developer in the world. is this correct?
