This is all very interesting posturing.
However, AOO 4.1.2 does NOT save documents in .docx format.
Simple, open Apache OpenOffice, start a Writer (Text) document, then click Save As ... .
Where do you see any option to use OOXML and .DOCX ?
(The "Word XML" formats are not .DOCX. They are for some pre-OOXML single-file XML formats.)
Mayela, you can save documents created or opened in OpenOffice Writer as .doc, but not .docx.

It is built-in.
However, usage of DocX is highly discouraged, due to Microsoft's
defective by design coding philosophy, which in this case is manifest by
MSO's inability for all but the most careful, expert users of MSO to
save documents in the same format of DocX as AOo utilizes.
Whilst AOo could "fix" this, the bug is that MSO doesn't adhere to the
ISO specifications. The secondary reason for not using DocX, is that it
is, according to Microsoft, a file format suitable only for use by
_legacy_ documents. IOW, documents created today are not suitable for D
ocX.

Hi Stati,
OO can write docx? Really? Is there an extension?

No, but the most recent version of MS Office can read Open Document
Format (just like dozends of other applications).
