MSO tried to add the ODF formats to their package, but did not try hard 
enough.
Yes MS sets the rules since it has the most market share.  It bought the 
votes to have its XML format made a "second" ISO "international 
standard" after ODF was made THE "international standard", and there 
should not be two
"standards" for the same "item" by regulations of the ISO group.  He who 
had the biggest stick [or most money] makes the rules and gets away will 
not obeying court rulings for years, since the fines for doing so is 
just "pocket change" for MS.  But since more and more Governments are 
moving to Open Source, then that should mean also that a single company 
should not control the file formats as well.  So ODF is the way they 
should go unless you use MS's non-XML formats.
