No is no, to OOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve heard several reports of supporters of OOXML trying to get national
| standards bodies to change their votes from “NO with comments” to “YES with
| comments” because “it’s the same thing.” The logic, which I’ll explain in a
| later post, is that any comments will trigger a ballot resolution meeting, so
| there is no need to be so negative and vote NO.

| It would be hard to make this stuff up. By all means vote “no with comments”
| but do not vote yes in any form if you expect changes to be made.

Wait until its get Windows-only 'extensions' like DRM. They will already /buy/
support, just as they do with OOXML (Novell, Turbolinux, Corel, Linspire,
Xandros, Sun). Standards are bought, not earned. JPEG 2000 was fine.
