Perhaps things have gotten better, but OOXML is not an open format by the normal usage of the word (text based does not mean open). OOXML was rushed through the standardization process, and was entirely created by one vendor (Microsoft). Microsoft doesn't even bother to support the OOXML format completely, as the Wikipedia article notes. |

It's a poor standard (including, iirc, normative references to behavior of particular proprietary software), but it's standardized and free to use.
