I must have replied to Sunnz directly; here it is to the list...

BTW, mad props to David Tulloh for getting the first comment in on the
MS page mentioned in the original post, pointing out just one of the
many flaws in the OOXML standard proposal.  And, apart from the one
MS-centric post (which has the wonderfully naive sentence "I'm sure
there are differences in the legalese wording, but I'm a developer,
thats not my problem."), every comment on that page before they shut
commenting down was anti-OOXML in some form.

Good work, open source community!

Have fun,

Paul
