Hi :) Quite. It was only older versions of MS Office that had problems reading formulae. Everyone else was easily able to correctly implement the 800 page specification as set as an ISO standard.
The 11,000 page OOXML ISO standard doesn't appear to have been correctly implemented by anyone, least of all MS Office. The undocumented changes with the various "transitional" versions and incompatibilities between them seem to create problems, as seen many times on this mailing-list. ODF is drawn up by a committee of hundreds of organisations (including MS) and therefore much less subject to the whimsical nature of a single profit-making organisation and less able to be made deliberately incompatible in order to sell more product as appears to be the case with OOXML implementations. The Extensions and such are nothing to do with the format at all. They are to do with the programs that implement the format. Personally i never use any. Some people use lots. [shrugs] Not a big deal either way.
