That's the opposite of what the article states. From the introduction of the article:

> Note that this is only a thought experiment. We are not suggesting that OpenDocument be changed. Nor is this article a criticism of the current OpenDocument design.

Yeah, and if you finish the quote, the next line is:

> The point of this essay is to suggest ways to improve future file format designs.

That makes it sound like, "No offense, but < extremely rude comment >." Just because they say they're not trying to be critical doesn't mean they're not actually being critical.
