Who is going to indemnify the OOo users for the patent
violations that an OOXML filer for OOo will have? [At least
five microsoft patents cover the docx specification. ]

Jonathon, do you expect Microsoft to take OOo users to court ? That
*would*
be a circus !...

Microsoft is trying to get OOXML ratified as an ISO standard.
If it is ratified they presumably can't sue anyone who uses it or who
provides facilities for others to use it.
If it isn't ratified, they are going to look really stupid if they try.
Sour grapes anyone?
