Submission + - Saving in OOXML format considered harmful
orlando writes: "Bob Sutor recommends that while all the drama is unfolding before the OOXML Ballot Resolution Meeting in Geneva at the end of February and the subsequent 30 day period while countries can still change their vote, saving your documents in OOXML format right now is probably about the riskiest thing you can do if you are concerned with long term interoperability. The reason? Nobody has the vaguest idea what OOXML will look like in February or even whether it will be in any sort of stable condition by the end of March."
