By the way, just to compare the state of the Microsoft-sponsored Office Open XML (ISO/IEC 29500) rival format, in Microsoft’s own words <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg607163%28v=office.14%29.aspx>: Office 2010reads files conformant to ECMA-376 Edition 1, reads and writes files conformant to ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional, and reads files conformant to ISO/IEC 29500 Strict. In other words, the better part of a decade after it was standardized, Microsoft Office can still only create files in the “Transitional” format.
