I don't know if you checked the Adobe Buzzword announcement:

http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200709/100107VirtualUbiquity.html

In the technical FAQ,

 http://www.adobe.com/special/buzzword/faq.html

ODF and "Standard open formats" are mentioned as a planned format
for future versions, but OOXML or Office 2007 are not mentioned
explicitely in current or future supported versions (while the door is
left open with "other formats").

This adds one more to the list of growing interoperable ODF processing
applications (Sun StarOffice + OpenOffice.org + IBM Symphony + Google
Docs + KOffice + SEPT-mobile Mobile Office + and also (MS Office 2003
+ Sun plug-in)).

So, Adobe is invited at our next ODF Camp to test interop with the others and
grow the group of interoperable, open standards based Office applications.
