Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
Of the top of my head, some other specifications I've seen mentioned in
OOXML include:
ASCII character encoding
Panose-1 font classification
WMF, EMF and Bitmap image formats
Zip archive format
TrueType and OpenType fonts
The C programming language (implicitly referenced by giving pages of C
code to define hashing algorithms)
Chicago Elements of Style (one of the numeration styles is defined in
reference to this text)
ISO 369-1 country codes
There are probably others.
I believe I've submitted individual comments on the cases where proper
references are missing.
