Original blog post by LibreOffice is here: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/18/artifici...

I mean… sure? When I saw this headline I was imagining that Microsoft added a brand-new ultracomplicated format. But no, the article is solely about OOXML. Why is the blog post re-litigating a fight that LibreOffice already fought almost 20 years ago?
