You may want to read up a bit on OpenXML and how it was rammed through
ISO and also how Microsoft themselves don't follow it.  The way it
became a "standard" was an absolute farce that crippled an ISO committee
that's also supposed to handle other stuff.  Are you aware OpenXML
perpetuates that  year 1900 Excel bug and makes it standard?  Did you
know about all the non-disclosed binary blobs that are part of OpenXML? 
Now tell me again who's pushing "vendor-locked crap".
