Re: No ...
So, your point is that MS Office is crap because it messes up documents in good, solid ISO-standard format from LibreOffice?
No, my point is that de jure standards (ISO) don't interest people, they care about de facto standards (MS Office). Whether MS Office is "crap" or not is as irrelevant as whether Esperanto has a better verb structure than English. My customers don't speak Esperanto, they won't learn Esperanto and it doesn't matter if it has an ISO standard, UN recognition and an endorsement from the Vatican, it is not the standard they recognize and no amount ISO fiat or philosophical open source posturing is going to change that.
The LibreOffice proposition is equivalent to learning tourist phrasebook French and then demanding that the rest of La Francophonie constrain their vocabulary and grammar accordingly or learn Esperanto. Not going to happen.
