"ISO/IEC announced that the Open XML specification won overwhelming
approval. 86% (61 countries!) of voting ISO countries stated that they
want to see Open XML ratified as an ISO/IEC standard .."

"groups opposed to ratification of Open XML want to continue their

of national standards bodies .."

"There is a simple word for this: hypocrisy. After all, IBM itself
actively recruited partners and others to join standards bodies"
