I've started working with OOXML recently, working on a project to get something more semantic out of Word. OOXML itself seems fairly reasonable as word processing formats go and getting something that has properly structured content isn't particularly challenging. As I'm not that familiar with OOXML, I have to read large chunks of the spec. I'm underwhelmed to find that it has obvious errors in it. I've just spent 15 minutes trawling the schema because an example in the spec seemed wrong. It is wrong. Runs of text do not contain paragraph styles. Ho hum.
