Format wars
-----------
"The difference in approach between Microsoft and Open Office is more
philosophical than practical. Open Office is working with the XML
standards body Oasis to create open formats for most common document
types. Microsoft has taken a different approach. While it has released
schema for XML versions of its Office file formats, these are intended
to store basic text and formatting information rather than document
meaning. If you want to add deeper meaning to Office XML documents, you
have to use your own schema. The resulting document can be rendered in
Microsoft Office, and the payload can be processed by applications."
