I wouldn't call implementing a 6000 pages (with a lot of reference to how other applications behaves) something easy to implement. I really doubt OOXML will be correctly supported in the near future, but it's possible that it will be better than the binary Office files. But what we advocates is to keep the pressure on MsOffice and government to really support ISO and open standard like ODF for interoperability. That's why even with the availability of the OOXML specification, not much effort will be put to support it.

I think he is referring to the thread on koffice-devel about Microsoft releasing specifications of its old formats, or new licencing terms for them

Now you're right, they didn't want to spend a lot of energy on the 'old' MS Word format. BUT... apparently, Microsoft released the specs for their older formats!!! So it has become a lot easier to support it, thus there is hope ;-)
