RE: OOXML standard vote down to the wire

I've read the spec.
OOXML is not a standard by any definition of the word. Let alone an open standard. OOXML may be a decent spec, but there's only one company on the planet that could possibly make a full implementation.

It's a sad sad state of affairs when a corporation can buy itself, and take over, a process that was designed to allow interoperability.
ISO will have a difficult time recovering.
The IT industry...even a harder time.
