Hi :) I think it depends on whether you mean the implementation as actually used in MS Office 2007 & 2010 or the theoretical standard as agreed by various organisations. Why MS do not seem to have followed the standard they drew-up could possibly be a marketing ploy, or at least perceived as such. Either that or they are inept at implementing their own standard. Either way it does not inspire confidence in using their new formats especially when they don't work and their old formats do.

I'm surprised with that: IFAIK, the docx format was just the opposite: the (XML) Open Format reply of Microsoft to the banning of proprietary formats (the old .doc formats were especially targeted...) by the governments of a lot of countries, starting with the USA, Japan, several European countries...: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx I suppose that if Microsoft made available a converter pack (with read and WRITE capabilities), it was also not entirely for avoiding people to buy the new versions of MSO...
