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"?
Because, for the first time, they're competing with an open standard,
and meanwhile, anyone computer-savvy and sane has figured out by now
that documents to be archived should be kept in an open-standard form.
Of course, OOXML isn't really open anyway. It provides only the
illusion of openness.
Ah, sorta like if you paint the walls white your room seems bigger.
