Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Is the "Office Open XML" option strict?

As there suppose to be full support for ODF in newest MS Office (MSO) - 
http://www.itproportal.com/2015/03/30/microsoft-will-adopt-open-document-standards-following-government-battle/ 
- so why not use the ODF? Certainly the cooperation should not rely on 
import-export. As far as I tested there is not such full support 
regardless of that court case. Have anyone tested ODF support with 
newest version of MSO?

Using e.g. MS OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com/) among partners would 
solve the online cooperation issue - then the same software and 
fileformats are available for everyone.

As there is no online version (yet) of LibreOffice but there is MSO 
online version (MS OneDrive) then people can use that. And it seems that 
when the online version of LibreOffice comes then you have to set it up 
in your private cloud in order to use it together online with partners.
Actually one instance of online LibreOffice is but not free -

It is always better to promote ODF usage than OOXML whatever version. 
Due to vendor lock-in I suspect that full compatibility with OOXML in 
LibreOffice will never happen. Even if OOXML claims to be free - it is 
still quite challenging to implement its support. Can anyone confirm the 
full specification availaibility of OOXML? As MSO is using modified 
version of OOXML and these modifications, as far as I know, are not 
freely available then making full compatibility would be really 
challenging...
