Sam Hiser, who is the Vice President & Director of Business Affairs at
the OpenDocument Foundation, Inc., has written an incredibly detailed
and comprehensive document on the subject of technical differences
between the two formats. You’ll note that he is clearly biased and uses
this document to advocate ODF over OOXML. Be that as it may, his
arguments are worthy of consideration, especially since many legislators
really have only a cursory knowledge of the issues at hand. It’s not out
of the realm of possibility for a legislative body to be hoodwinked by
crafty lobbyists who put forward a standard that really isn’t as open as
they claim.
