Nah - well you’re correct that DOCX is under-defined - but the real the problem with LibreOffice is that it has 40 years of history supporting the wrong file format. Its internals are all built on models that later became ODF and any attempt to bolt-on the incompatible MS Office models is doomed to failure.
