    <p>I researched now around the different standards.</p>

    <p>Options to continue the work are:<br />
    1) Implementing the <strong>ISO/IEC 29500</strong>, would be supported by a lot of office systems (see above in overview section), but * not so MS office 2007*<br />
    2) Implementing the <strong>ECMA-376</strong>, would also be supported by a lot of office systems and what is more important: by MS office 2007/2010<br />
    3) Implementing the ISO/IEC 29500, and implementing later "wrapper" classes to convert/read "ECMA-376" files</p>

    <p>What are all of you thinking is better</p>

    <p><strong>Vote for option 3)</strong><br />
    With option 1), it's not possible to read the current 2007 documents properly.</p>
