Ah yes, Stephane Rodriguez. The guy who edits an OOXML file by hand,
purposefully breaks it by making changes that violate the schema, and
then says it is a flaw of OOXML that Excel rejects the file? The guy
whose business is based on reverse engineering Microsoft file formats,
and so has a financial interest in those formats not being replaced by
OOXML or any other open format?
Yeah, that's someone I'm interested in hearing about on this...
