after having tried to reverse engineer some proprietary document format i’m becoming really sensitive to companies walling their market by doing complex and poorly documented file format. I feel like reaching a certain market share there should be a regulation forcing companies to at least document the format.

How are .docx document doing those days ? Is it possible to create a docx reader that would display word document correctly? ( at least the basic features, excluding complex things involving spreadsheet embedding for example)
