The two major document formats used by the current generation of office
suite programs both are compound document formats, and both are
multiple-namespace formats (which is a different thing than a compound
document,)
At some time, when the tipping point is reached with enough installed
systems that can produce and use and consume the formats. it will stop
being prudent to avoid them. We just need to make sure the standards
are good enough by the time they are needed.
