UOF–OpenXML Translator

I was surprised the news that Microsoft announced UOF-OpenXML translator project with China. The goal of UOF–OpenXML translator :

"As part of Microsoft’s continued commitment to interoperability, Microsoft decided to work with CHINA Electronics Standardization Institute, Beijing Information Technology Institute, one of the co-creators of the UOF Chinese standard , Beihang University of Beijing and with other partners to create a Translator between UOF and Open XML and provide interoperability between the two formats in both directions. Microsoft is funding and providing technical architectural guidance for the development of the translator that will benefit millions of people who live in China."

In one sense, China is so important for Microsoft's further strategies.
It is time to do something about UOF plug-in for OpenOffice.org, isn't it?
