The OOXML specifications are at least as complete and rigorous as the ODF ones.

Every indication is that the ODF 1.2 support in Office 2013 is quite good.  Of particular 
importance to many users is that OpenFormula is now supported, and this will provide a tremendous 
improvement in interop between LibreOffice Calc and MSO 2013.  Whether this becomes a preferable 
path between Office and LibreOffice instead of relying on OOXML conversion in LO is an open 
question.

You can test the support yourself using the in-browser support of documents via Web applications in 
Microsoft SkyDrive.  Not all features are supported on SkyDrive (for either Microsoft OOXML or 
ODF), but this should provide an initial smell test.

Yes, more detailed testing and comparison is a good idea.

Are you actually suggesting that this is either complete or accurate?

You can get the binary file format description from
http://www.microsoft.com/openspecifications/en/us/programs/osp/office-file-formats/default.aspx

Ditto... a 'description of a file format' doesn't equate to somethinhg 
that can be used/relied upon to build something that accurately renders 
and/or recreates said format.

The ECMA standard is available in MSO 2013 as "OOXML strict", but LO
fails to read it.

So, I've heard, does MSO...

MSO 2013 supports ODF 1.2.

Really? Have you tested this? How accurately does it render ODF 1.2 
files created with LibO?

If an authority demands standards or even demands ODF, this can all be
fulfilled with MSO, no need to use LO.

Rotflmao!
