Well to be fair to Google (urgh, that hurt to write) that's by design, and LO doing so well at it is due to investing a lot of engineering time on it. Basically MS released an open standard for office documents, but refuses to use this open standard themselves, and instead keeps using an ever evolving "transitional" version of their standard that isn't made public.
