I agree. We included the following list of arguments to promote open
standards:

\item Keuzevrijheid van consumenten.
\item Marktwerking. Door het bevoordelen van \'e\'en aanbieder in een markt
waar meerdere aanbieders zijn.
\item Interoperabiliteit tussen verschillende software pakketten.

I think we can limit this to just the first two; freedom of choice and
competition.
The third argument (Interoperability) is more about exchanging data between
applications and although a PDF document is data
it is not the focus of the letter.
