Default universal document file format

What is the most commonly used file format for word processor documents?
Word is limited to owners of Word, .rtf is not much better, the new Word
2007 format is also proprietary. .txt is very limited. How about the Open
Office format?

This situation really begs for standardization. It would be nice if anybody
could read everybody else's documents. Is MS the stumbling block in adopting
non-proprietary standards? Any hope for a world-wide standard?
