      Impressive! Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know there was a standard. So if someone sends me a docx I can ask them for an iso format now :)

      Well, actually ODF came first, to which MS paniked (governments liking standards), so they then remade their office formats to OOXML. Except most of it proprietary extensions, 600 page confusing documentation, bribery during standardization (ECMA, they failed ISO), etc.
