Well, the covenant for OpenXML is the CNS. If you don't choose to
believe them until they do it, that's fine, but since the OpenXML spec
doesn't exist yet you can hardly complain about the license.

I'm not sure it's that interesting a distinction anyway; if you're not
happy with the state of the CNS, use the OSP. It's either-or, you don't
need both, and they say basically the same thing anyway (the OSP is the
thing that RedHat and Larry Rosen have endorsed, too, not the CNS).
