Official Google Blog: A renewed wish for open document standards

Official Google Blog: A renewed wish for open document standards

Google says OOXML is an insufficient standard designed around Microsoft Office. Are they saying that Google Docs is sufficient to replace Microsoft Office? I mean it is clear that they are trying to use the international standards body to favor their product (although that is mentioned nowhere in the document) but shouldn't they allow some integration with existing standards for office documents? If their free product won't provide a current conversion path how much are we going to have to pay them for the premium version?
