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.
