Marielle,
MS has submited the new format to ECMA to create a "open" standard,
this is not the current format, this is an attempt to beat
OpenDocument and the F/OSS initiatives out there. I bet they are
putting raw binary data inside the XML, but that's just me being
pessimistic.
Cheers

The latest Office suite uses XML as the native file format. Not
sure how open and available it is, but it should ideally be
writable since it's ultimately ASCII now....
