I'm not clear on what you were trying to accomplish by bringing him
up, but if you want to know where Mark Shuttleworth stands on ODF,
just ask him - he is very responsive by email, and has publicly voiced
strong views on ODF and interoperability.

If you'll excuse the completely shameless plugs, here are some links
to him on the record about ODF and interoperability (among other
things):
http://zatechshow.co.za/episode-14 (a podcast with him from earlier this month)
and
http://searchcio.imix.co.za/?q=node/63821 (roughly a text version of
same, but reg required, sorry).
