South Africa and the PAS Process: A Plague o' Both Your Standards
,----[ Quote ]
| How bad can it get? Apparently pretty bad, according to the South
| African national body, which thinks that the Publicly Available
| Specification (PAS) avenue to ISO/IEC adoption is being abused.
| After being apparently subjected to the lobbying efforts of camps
| pro and con through both the ODF and now the OOXML adoption
| process, they have become down right testy.
