			<A rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eff.org/support">I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property</A> writes <I>"Groklaw is reporting that some people have decided to compare the OOXML schema to actual Microsoft Office 2007 documents.  It won't surprise you to know that  <A href="http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080421091129596">Office 2007 failed miserably</A>.  If you go by the strict OOXML schema, you get a 17 MiB file containing approximately 122,000 errors, and 'somewhat less' with the transitional OOXML schema.  Most of the problems reportedly relate to the serialization/deserialization code.  How many other fast-tracked ISO standards have no conforming implementations?"</I>
