ODF is an open standard, OOXML is designed to pretend it is one, only one just can't make a compliant implementation and MS doesn't follow what they've published anyway.
Yeah, it's open as it's human readable..
Hex dumps are kinda human readable too. You see human readable values of every byte.
The sheer size of OOXML prevents it from being normally implemented by most people, and then there is the issue of what's made by actual MS Word not following it.
