Open Office XML Format is just one OASIS standard. DocBook and ebXML two 
others. 

As I see it project management should have it own standard like 
ProjectXML which could be based on PMXML.

Right now I am working on a Danish financial accounting project based on 
PHP and PosgreSQL where we look at ebXML to exchange data. So OASIS 
standards are very handy.

The most enjoyable greetings
