OpenDocument Format 1.3 Approved As OASIS Standard

Regardless of software, I always find that the winning standard should be the easiest to implement from scratch. From a preservation point of view, no existing software available today will be around in 30 years. MS Office would have dissolved in the clouds and Libre/Open Office will have changed so much it probably won't have a single line of code that is the same.
Preservation of data isn't really my area but I imagine some plain text format, possibly XML is the better option here. Don't both Microsoft and Libre have their own standards of this but as a secondary option? If the standards body had any sway, they would enforce this as a requirement compared to the binary offerings.

Only LibreOffice and the dead OpenOffice use ODF as primary, so standardization of the office document format remains a long road... as long as Microsoft reigns at least.
