Not all is XML inside the proposed OpenXML. Exists proprietary content ("binary") inside OpenXML that can be subject to intellectual proprietary claims of Microsoft. This applies also to the use of bitmaps in the specification, for example in the Supported Unicode subranges.
Other example is the use of binaries in the Custom Property Part as a binary space, where closed binary extensions could be used.

Format must be fixed to ensure that all content is in XML without proprietary aspects. Also exist XML text in the specification with errors that must be fixed.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment PE-0005 (Modified: 2008-01-07) Regarding Part 4: Section 2.8.2.16 Page 750 Lines 5 to 9 An attribute called “val” is defined with values that could be 0 or 1, or True or False. The text says that this attribute “Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element”. This attribute is fully specified and is not proprietary content. Regarding Part 4: Page 68 Lines 29 to 32 We did not find any mention of binary data. Regarding the use of bitmaps (or bitmasks) in the specification, we will make the following change in Part 4, §2.8.2.16, page 758, lines 1617: This element specifies information identifying the code pages and Unicode subranges for which the parent font provides glyphs using the mechanism defined in §4.2.7.18 and §4.2.7.28 of ISO/IEC 14496- 22:2007 . This attribute is fully specified and is not proprietary content. Regarding Custom Property Part: As indicated in our response to CA-0009, CL-0042, DE-0007, DK-0102, FR-0015, GB-0042, PR-0010, US-0034 it is recommended that a Custom Property Part contain XML content for improved interoperability. Regarding errors on existing XML text: Agreed. As indicated in our response to CH-0015, CL-0217, DE-0147, DK-0074, GB-0135, IE-0011, NO-0005, PE-0007, PL-0003, US-0267, the examples in the document will be modified so that they are all well-formed XML trees. Regarding the comment that `Not all is XML inside the proposed OpenXML. Exists proprietary content ("binary") inside OpenXML that can be subject to intellectual proprietary claims of Microsoft’ : We note that independently of DIS 29500, many types of non-XML content are allowed in office document formats, such as ISO/IEC 26300 (ODF) for the benefit of the users, including image and media formats.
