Language and Linguistics Problems in OOXML: Microsoft also did a bad job in creating a document format for the whole world, which is an important requirement for an ISO standard. Considerations for users in Israel and many Muslim countries were excluded in the specification of OOXML. The weekend continues being only Saturday and Sunday which effects Iraq, Algeria, Sudan, Bahrain, Qatar, Bangladesh, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Pakistan, Syria and the United Arab Emirates:
a) There is no way to represent minority languages (does not use ISO 639)
b) There are still a lot of borderlines images that match only with US culture and doesn’t provide alternatives for other cultures.
c) It is not possible to make numerations in Greek, Tamil, Armenian, Ethiopian, etc. Only in Arabic numbers (occidental set) and Latin.
d) Doesn’t use W3C XLS: FO, a language for transforming XML documents and an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics
e) Microsoft does not support, is the RFC 3987 specification, which defines UTF-8 capable Internet addresses. Consequently, OOXML does not support the use of Chinese characters within a Web address.

Office 2007 OOXML Spreedsheets is a closed binary format: Some of the binary blobs of .XLS are moved over .XLSX(M) as is, they are not XML which is in contradiction with what the standard is for in the first place. As for XML parts themselves, you can’t add your own XML within Microsoft spreadsheet’s XML (placeholders, markers,…). since it automatically corrupts the file. It undermines the reason why people use XML , and the regular XML tooling in particular (XSLT, tagging, templating, and so on). Read More at OOXML is Defective by Design by Stephane Rodriguez.
