Standardizing OOXML, will encourage a lot of people to use it. That is OK if it weren't for major defects in the standard. Here are 20 good reasons to disapprove OOXML.
Worse Microsoft has the habit of including submarine patents in various standards, as it is the case with C# and .Net, Microsoft sued Mono for implementing the standard, because it breaches a number of Microsoft patents included in the standard. With OOXML, other office suites risk the chance of either being sued, forced to pay royalty fees, or not implementing OOXML in a compatible way with Microsoft Office. Standardizing OOXML, serves one purpose, locking people into Microsoft Office.
