The funniest quote from the Burton report:

ODF is primarily focused on content and presentation domains, and it is far less useful for scenarios requiring advanced structure and behavior capabilities."

That just make me laugh!! Can they give one scenario or example??? What exactly are "advanced" structure and behavior capabilities?

But, the Burton report also fails to comment on the rats nest of a specification that OOXML is, and the propagation of the rats nest from older MS document formats. Seems to me, that now is the time to translate the rats nest of formatting specification into something coherent. The problem is the lack of documentation or any clarity of the existing MS document formats, and the propagation of them into OOXML.
