Been wondering about that one myself. If it's supposed to be a
"Standard" in which all documents are written, and the "Standard" is a
closely guarded MS proprietary secret, who in the world could believe
that it will be available to absolutely everyone?
Was it actually just as bald as it seemed, a ploy to force the whole
world to use MS?

Okay, forgive me for being the idjit on this one, but given
Microsoft's proprietary nature, why in the world would it want to make
OOXML an "open standard"? As one poster put it on that blog, all of
Microsoft's other formats have become more or less de facto and they
haven't been opened up.
And as far as the "competing on standards", that's like saying you're
going to compete on languages to my thinking.
