https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OOXML
The new content is that linked to from the first section, currently limited to
a description of the packaging format, extensibility features, and a brief
introduction to Wo

about for a while:
- I think the rather extreme anti-OOXML stance that some tak

Those of you interested in OOXML may want to have a look at my own
implementation of (a subset of) the spec, which is part of a library I've just
made available as open source (license is ASLv2):
