I'm Shocked!
Durusau has an interesting take: opponents to OOXML are just being nasty: ""What is puzzling in this day and age of quarterly reports and returns is that any corporate-governance structure would long tolerate spite as a business strategy. Or that investors would stay with companies that follow such strategies," he wrote in a PDF.

How can that be? I thought opponents of OOXML were all thoughtful people, who were only concerned about what's best for the computer industry? Who would have thought that they were spiteful, vindictive people, obsessesed with taking MS down? I must say that I'm totally shocked! Where's my valium!
