.docx, .xslx, and .pptx files are definitely all OOXML files.

However, Microsoft Office also has free-standing XML files that can be =
produced for Word and Excel documents.  These are not OOXML but they are =
also not .docx, .xslx, and .pptx. =20

To complicate matters, Microsoft Office does not rely on file extensions =
alone.  It always sniffs inside the file to see what it actually is and =
it may simply do the right thing.  For example, if you have an .rtf file =
and rename it to .doc, it should still open correctly in Microsoft =
Office Word.

Note, also, that the OOXML Standard does not specify file-name =
extensions at all.

The thing is though, when you do a web search for ooxml, the top link =
(at
least in Ireland) is this:

"
Office Open XML (OOXML) is an XML-based file format used for =
representing
word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is
conceptually similar to ODF in many respects, though a lot of the =
details
differ.Jul 24, 2014

Office Open XML - Apache OpenOffice Wiki

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
"

So, by that definition, docx is not ooxml and ./dfconvert tells me that:

$ ./dfconvert --help
Usage:

dfconvert get concrete.docx abstract.html

    Create a new HTML file from a Word document. The HTML file must not
    already exist.

So, that makes me think that we should have docx and ooxml directories, =
but
that docx should not live in ooxml?
