Though this work is probably much more useful than the OOXML stuff.

By way of background, this is an ICEBERG that I have spent many years steering 
clearoff :-) .

Sometime around 1988 - a boss tried to point me at SGML

Sometime around 1989 - I recommended an organisation adopt MSOffice, despite my 
own preference and technical requirements for Lotus Notes and in the face of 
sophisticated word processors such as AIMEPRO and WordPerfect. MSOffice was just 
more user friendly.

In 2007, [though I agree with Eleanor 
<http://mailman.anu.edu.au/pipermail/link/2007-July/075091.html>] PDF and MSWORD 
DOC formats are the generally accepted document exchange format and appear 
frequently on websites. This does not mean that I think that either of these 
formats are the most effective way to exchange information electronically.
