No I am not - I just don't see the point of this being in the standard. If 
you look at ODF there, "PII" is not mentioned at all. So I basically agree 
with you when you say it's a problem - I just say it's an insolvable 
problem.

So basically you are screwed either way. With OOXML PII is not defined, so 
you don't have a list to look at for relevant elements and attributes. With 
ODF PII is not even mentioned, so your problem is that you don't have a 
well-defined concept to even start talking about it.
