Blogosphere has been full of speculations about when and if ever
Microsoft will support ISO/IEC 29500 format in MS Office. Some people
believe and wish that OpenOffice.org with ISO/IEC 29500 support will
be released earlier then MS Office. But don't get fooled, the first
application conforming to ISO/IEC 29500 is out, it is neither MS
Office nor OpenOffice.org, it is coming from Free Software Foundation
and you can see screenshots here.

See particularly section 6.8 and its discussion of "etiquettes," which sounds like CDF profiles to me.
This 1998 academic paper on open standards could give us a solid foundation to build our arguments for Universal Interop from. I may have forwarded this link before, roughly a year ago. Here is the abstract of the paper:
This paper develops the argument that many Information Technology standardization processes are in transition from being controlled by standards creators to being controlled by standards implementers. The users of standardized implementations also have rights that they wish addressed. Ten basic rights of standards creators, implementers and users are identified and quantified. Each of these ten rights represents an aspect of Open Standards. Only when all ten rights are supported will standards be open to all.
it builds upon a previous work by Bruce Perens. Well worth the read.
