Should the system reject PPTX files ? If people can't read them, why
are we accepting them ?

Because the world has evolved since Office v0 was released unlike the IETF.
PPTX is Office 2007 format and there are formal readers and format API's
for office so that this is a no brainer.

Please can everybody who doesn't upload PDF to the meeting materials page
at least take care to upload PPT instead of PPTX?
As a chair, I convert PPT and PPTX to PDF first, and always upload the
PDF. (And I ask participants to send me PDF in the first place.)

Some people prefer to send PPT(X) because they want to do fancy
animations. I try to discourage that, unless they can really make the
case that the animations make things significantly clearer. So far,
no one has even tried to convince me.
