OOXML and scripting
Rob Weir argues that scripting is inadequately defined in Office Open XML. Because of the vagueness of the specification, he argues, "not only is it impossible to have cross-platform interoperability of this feature, it is not even possible to implement a reasonable security policy to detect, scan or block macros. Even the location of the macro is outside the scope of the standard."
It's likely that Brian Jones will have a rejoinder. I'll link to it when it's available.

I'm not sure what Brian Jones and others might have to say, but Rob Weir's post sent me into a deep research of ECMA-376. The analysis is at my blog.
