Really? I'm not interested at all. Zero percent. To me that looks like the usual M$ attempts to "replace" just about anything that other people have done. It's already ambivalent to have GIMP running on windows at all, I'm not interested in taking this any further by supporting these formats, and thereby supporting M$. The free software community doesn't get any support from them either.
Plus the fact that M$ submarine patents are no idle threat. I'm very wary of M$ geeks baring gifts, especially when they explicitly don't grant patent licenses in the legalease. Anyway, all this reminds me that I started writing a pdf output plugin a while ago. Maybe I should dust it off this three-day weekend.
