Yes, but docx is not widespread either.
And for that matter, neither is ODT, or you wouldn't write your document.
I think we understand eachother and are now mostly discusing the meaning of words.
I'm glad you wrote your document and I think it was a good idea to invite feedback.
Best regards,
Sam

Indeed. However, as far as the users are concerned, they're interoperability.
Again, try to send a 2007 .doc document to a Mac Office - or to a previous Office version. Try to do the same with a .doc from 2003 to a 1999 version and the other way around.
It doesn't work, it's not in Microsoft's interest to make it work because they want everyone to upgrade to the last Office.
That's *not* interoperability.
Best,
