OOXML Contradiction Period stopped no discussion

,----[ Quote ]
| I’m hearing reports that people in national standards bodies are being 
| told blatantly false information about what they can and cannot discuss 
| during the current JTC1 Fast Track process for OOXML. They are being 
| told things, to paraphrase, like “the contradiction period decided that 
| such and such was ok” or “we can’t consider that problem with OOXML 
| because it was already dealt with in the Contradiction Period.”

| A decision by each National Standardisation Body in each country will

| comments should be sent before the end of June in most countries.
