As a professional technical writer I can tell you that it's not the best argument :)))

At least it shows that it's not just a carbon copy. I guess the better argument would be all the input OASIS got from Corel, KDE, several individuals, as well as the European Comission. There have been several changes to the format. It's not "99% the same".
However, if the specs of OASIS OpenDocument are available, I would appreciate an URL. The only reason Scribus doesn't support importing files in OpenDocument format is no specs available to read.

Thank you for asking. :-)
