Two comments on that. OOXML documents could contain more formatting 
options than the old style MS Office documents, which would be lost of 
you saved it in a prior format, and secondly, if someone sends you a 
document in a certain format, then it's arrogant of you to return it in 
a DIFFERENT format, however much you dislike the format the sender used.
That's why email clients reply to messages in the same format in which 
they were received.
