Why OOXML-Based Suites Handle ODF BadlyThe question arises naturally for anyone who chooses the standard format over the proprietary one: why do office suites that use OOXML as their native format handle ODF in ways that range from poor to appalling?The two most obvious answers are these: vendors have neglected the format, treating it https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/07/31/why-ooxml-based-suites-handle-odf-badly/#LibreOffice #OpenDocumentFormat #Standards #Technology

Key takeaway of the blog:- Most of the vendors (including European) organized around OOXML or on making OOXML looks right.- Most office suites handle ODF badly; ODF had deliberate underinvestment- European "Public" body should somehow be requested to care about their software’s "internal model"To most readers, that may sound overwhelmingly in favor of OOXML. Why not spin it more positively ? like "Why ODT is an excellent choice for your long term archiving needs - Private or Public ?"
