    OK, sounds good.

    When importing/exporting to the OOo formats, yes, of course.
    
    But the question will arise when we use the OASIS format as the native format
    for KOffice (which I have started to work on). We can't save as .sxw then,
    since the OASIS format is a bit different from the current OOo format, so OOo
    wouldn't really understand those documents. ".sxw" is a legacy name anyway,
    I don't think it makes sense to adopt it for "standard" OASIS documents.
    That's where a "standard" extension might make more sense.
    But the debate is open, I'm not yet sure myself, what would be best for users.
