PermaLink Rob Weir: How many defects remain in OOXML?
I'm not done with this study yet. I'm finding so many defects that recording them is taking more time than finding them. But since this is topical, I will report what I have found so far, based on the first 25 random pages, or 1/8th completion of my target 200. I've found 64 technical flaws. None of the 64 flaws were addressed by the BRM. Among the defects are some rather serious ones such as:
  • storage of plain text passwords in database connection strings
  • Undefined mappings between CSS and DrawingML
  • Errors in XML Schema definitions
  • Dependencies of proprietary Microsoft Internet Explorer features
  • Spreadsheet functions that break with non-Latin characters
  • Dependencies on Microsoft OLE method calls
  • Numerous undefined terms and features
