"There has been a lot of attention to the legal encumbrances in
Microsoft's new MS XML format. In this article we'll look at the
technical side, and try to show you how the design of these formats
affect interoperability. After all, that is the purpose of open
standards.
OpenDocument benefits from 5 years of development involving many experts
from diverse backgrounds (Boeing, National Archives of Australia,
Society for Biblical literature, etc.). It was written with the explicit
purpose of being interoperable across different platforms. In contrast,
MS XML has not gone through a peer-review process, and was written with
only one product in mind. This difference shows in the design of the
formats."
