OOXML is violating ISO 8632 (Graphics Metafile) by referring to windows metafiles/ enhanced metafiles instead of ISO 8632. The support for available Object linking technologies should be expanded to support Object linking technologies from Linux platform, This should include support for KParts and Bonobo technologies as know from KDE desktop environment and GNOME linux graphical user interfaces. Eg. expanding the complexType CT_ExternalLink with: kparts (KParts Link) bonobo (Bonobo Link) Relevant additional enumeration values should be added to SF_CF e.g. TIFF, PNG, HTML, JPG or others well-established formats.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment DK-0168 (Modified: 2008-01-10) We believe that your comment addresses two distinct concerns, both of which have been resolved as follows: Regarding the concerns around the references to metafiles/Windows metafiles and ST_CF: We agree that these references were inappropriate; this is handled in the disposition to DK-0036, DK-0038, DK-0148, and DK-0157. Regarding the desire to allow for KParts and Bonobo as linking technologies: We agree; this is handled in the disposition to DK-0031.
