Default Macros now ok in docx files?

I developed a document in MS Word 2007 that people use as a template (although it is not a dotm or dotx file). Because certain macros in a toolbar (as an add-in) were required, I made the file a docm file since as a docx file, the toolbar and macro disappeared. Now to my surprise, they seem to be staying when the docm file is saved as a docx, when we've been warning people to keep it as a docm file if they want the special toolbar. It would be great if we could keep the macros in the docx file since that is more familiar to the users...but why is it working? Is this something new? I just want to be sure that I don't start providing this as a docx and then all of a sudden, the macros are no longer there.
