IBM, Sun to create 'OpenDocument Foundation'?
This is a redundant and a waste of time.These two form their own foundation and where does that leave OASIS? Don't get me wrong, redundancy is good in certain cases, this isn't one of them. Thats the problem with open-anything. Everyone wants a standard or foundation or committee, but then they go overboard and have too many.
