so "Office 2007" and "Open XML" actually do different things? i have
always wondered why the heck we have 2 of these but forgot to ask...

i'd say that since evidently there is no relevant software that we need
to interoperate with that actually conforms with the "Open XML"
standard, our filter for it is a proof of concept that is mainly of
academic interest and agree that we should de-emphasize it in favor of
actual interoperability with whatever actual Microsoft Office products
produce and consume.
