This is one of those complex issues, that usually has people talking
past one another, totally ignoring what the other is saying,
constructing straw-men to further mis-communicate their ideas, as part
of their process of maximizing non-communication.

Compatibility depends upon how much loss one is willing to undergo, with
respect to:
* Content;
* Presentation Markup;
* Semantic Markup;
* Other types of Markup;

Rephrased:
a) Willing to lose everything but content;
b) Willing to lose everything but content and presentation markup;
c) Unwilling to lose content, presentation markup, semantic markup, or
other types of markup;

A not so minor issue is that the MSO *x file formats, and OOXML file
formats are two dissimilar file formats, that, at first glance, appear
to be identical.

IOW, even if AOO has perfect OOXML file format compatibility, it means
squat, in terms of MSO *x file format compatibility.
