Re: almost scared to ask this...

Thats pretty much my take on it also. Its simply neither expedient nor particularly desirable to implement 3rd party proprietary formats.

I guess the issue though is mainly that the aforementioned dot article was held up by RMS as a counterpoint to the somewhat MS-happy approach of other development efforts and there is a big opportunity for future paid for efforts to include particularly OOXML being presented in a negative light and starting all kinds of flame war fun on the usual tech blogs etc.

Wrongzo...

It matters a great deal to implement proprietary filters for *import*.

Export is another story.
