No, that was not the point. Italo Vignoli wrote: "LibreOffice writes OOXML and will write 
OOXML, and this is
not under discussion." That is the point I objected to.

It should be a community decision, not one made by the developers. Or based on LibreOffice 
being based on Go-OO code which already had OOXML write support because of the Novell agreement 
with Microsoft.

It is a community decision, not a developer decision.
