uhm...Mike? Where you been? =)
Unfortunately, OOXML is neither from Open Office, nor open in any real
sense of the word. It's proprietary with a thin veneer of openness to
allow MS to continue their attempts of monopolizing document standards.
Use of OOXML (i.e., translators, etc...) require licensing from MS.

Funny thing -- I was thinking that OOXML stood for Open Office XML, but
it stands for Office Open XML. It wasn't developed by the Open Office
team, it was developed by Microsoft. I knew Microsoft had developed an
open XML standard, but I didn't know it was called OOXML! They must
have done this intentionally.
