Yeah, but when "sweet mama Microsoft" is convicted of prostitution in the Court of Public
Opinion, and no one does better than an 80% solution on OOXML, this ISOdomy shall appear a
pyrrhic victory indeed.

By the Court of Public Opinion, Microsoft creates the reference standard. It doesn't matter
how close your importer is to the standard, if it screws up an Office document it's your
fault, not Microsoft's. Always.
In the eyes of Joe and Jane Public, Microsoft is already at 100% compliance. :(
