Like the fact that ODF lacks a formula specification. I see from your
email that you are thinking of the GrokDoc page. I wasn't.

After learning more about this, I decided I can't sensibly edit it. Rob
Weir made some comments about it that made me think twice. Both Miguel
and Rob have valid points, but I see weaknesses in both (Miguel
regarding the age of the specs, and Rob ignoring the fact that OXML also
mentions "Enhanced" Metafiles). I don't have a definite resolution, and
I fear I'll screw up if I haste towards an edit.

It can perfectly well be a time issue. First, this is not necessarily a
very small side discussion to me. Maybe I think it's important. And
second, maybe it does take a lot more time than I first thought to
figure out what that page really should say.

Best,
Daniel.
