What might come of the OOXML revolt?
,----[ Quote ]
| The appeals come nearly a month after England’s standards body was taken to
| court over its support of OOXML, and a week after the European Union launched
| its own investigation of the matter.
|
| As I noted then Microsoft Office will support the competing, open source ODF
| format before it supports the final version of OOXML, and this fact is at the
| heart of the appeal. The company blames changes made by the ISO.
