In the meantime, a solution might be
to point to the Wikipedia OpenDocument format. Something like this:
Please avoid sending me any data attachments that
are in a proprietary format.
See Wikipedia's OpenDocument
entry for more information and a list of applications using the OpenDocument
standard (ISO 23600)

I would *love* to use something similar, if we could provide a link to
a page
that was pro-OpenDocument and not an obvious slam at Word or commercial
software. It could just be a few educational paragraphs. We might include
some
links to all the options for ODF-compliant software, to make it clear that
ODF
is *not* synonymous with OpenOffice. If we use product links, we'd have
to
include a disclaimer, "OASIS does not endorse or certify compliance
of any of
the above products...links are provided for informational purposes
only...readers are encouraged to evaluate all products independently..."
Would it be worth the Committee's time to craft a few paragraphs along
these
lines? We could publish them on XML.org on behalf of the TC, and encourage
everyone to incorporate them into their email signatures.
