Sorry, but in this case MS is not to blame. The OOXML format is published as ISO standard. We could discuss problems of this ISO standard in detail, but this is not necessary because the fact that LibreOffice has implemented appropriate filters, proves that it is not a problem of the OOXML standard. I find it really strange that it seems impossible to find companies that are willing to integrate corresponding filter in AOO, as a normal commercial support.
