I've been really backed up on email, so I'm sorry for those of you who've sent me questions directly and still haven't heard back. I'm working to catch up on all of them. There are a number of great questions, and I figured that I should post some of

Hey Onno,
The relationship names have been changing a bit, but the meaning is still the same. The final name of the relationship type will most likely we what it is in that first Ecma draft.
You can't have a customXML part external currently. There is pleny of access to it via the OM though, so if you wanted to have a bit of extra code to link to an external source you could do that. I've done some demos where I connect to a web service...

Hello Brian,

I read through the ECMA specification of Office Open XML and had special interest in the relationship to external resources. In the example of §14.2.4 the relationship Type is "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officedocument/2006/relationships/customXmlData" while in the example document in an earlier post on January 9(http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2006/01/09/CustomXML1.aspx), the type is "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/relationships/datastoreItem". What is the difference between them, is the type something specific to the build you created this file in or will it likely be like this in the final release?

Could you have a datastoreItem / customXmlData as an external resource? Can this data be validated by a Schema when it is edited in Word? I'd like to see a sample of using external resources if possible.

Regards,

Onno

Links to blog posts that contain useful technical information for developers. Open XML is a new standard, but there's some good information already available if you know where to look.
