MS Office 2007 will not support DIS-29500 until 2009, if then.
Make VERY SURE everyone knows that Microsoft Office officially doesn't support DIS-29500!
... just be careful to note that only the upcoming OpenOffice.org 3 release allows users to save in the IS 26300 format? ;)
Seriously, keep the pressure up on Microsoft, but recognise the big win: that office file formats, whichever they are, are now talked about in terms of standards, not proprietary formats.
