"Foremost, the interoperability of OpenXML has been accomplished through extensive contributions, modification, and review of the Specification by members of the Ecma TC45 committee…"
OOXML has not yet been proven to be interoperable, as no conforming consumers and producers have yet been created. This claim cannot be made until more than one full implementation of an application that produces and consumes conformant OOXML exists. This is made difficult by the problems with the conformance definition in Part 1 - Fundamentals as described elsewhere in these comments.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment GB-0004 (Modified: 2007-10-27) The document “Office Open XML Overview” was intended to provide some background and contextual information about OOXML for reviewers during both the Ecma adoption stage and the 5-month Ballot stage of the Fast-Track process. (Such a document is often referred to as a white paper.) As such, this document will not be included in the published standard.
