Are you aware OpenXML
perpetuates that year 1900 Excel bug and makes it standard? Did you
know about all the non-disclosed binary blobs that are part of OpenXML?

Year 1900 being a leap one is a universal convention which predates

Office 2013 has the option to use the strict standard, but it's not the
default as any older office versions couldn't open the documents.
The format in use prior to and by default in office 2013 is a
transitional format.
