Microsoft accused of failure to observe Open XML standards process

http://www.itwriting.com/blog/2424-microsoft-accused-of-failure-to-observe-open-xml-standards-process.html

Alex Brown: "Without action, the entire OOXML project is now surely heading for failure"

,----[ Quote ]
| In reviewing my RSS feed this morning, I 
| found this interesting blog entry by Alex 
| Brown, titled Microsoft Fails the 
| Standards Test.  In it, Alex makes a 
| number of statements, and reaches a number 
| of conclusions, that are likely to startle 
| those that followed the ODF-OOXML saga. 
| The bottom line? Alex thinks that 
| Microsoft has failed to fulfill crucial 
| promises upon which the approval of OOXML 
| was based. He concludes that unless 
| Microsoft reverses course promptly, âthe 
| entire OOXML project is now surely heading 
| for failure.â
|  
| Wow.

CAFC Won't Rehear Patent Case Of Editing XML

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the more troubling patent rulings 
| in the past year involved a Canadian 
| company, i4i, that held a patent 
| (5,787,449) that appears to broadly (very 
| broadly) cover editing a custom XML 
| document, separate from the presentation 
| layer of a document.

Fifth Anniversary of ODF is May 1st

,----[ Quote ]
| Weâll be hitting a significant date next 
| month.  It was on May 1st, 2005 that Open 
| Document Format (ODF) 1.0 was approved by 
| OASIS.
| 
| I hope we can all take time to reflect on 
| far weâve gone, with the specification 
| itself,  with the quality and diversity of 
| implementations and with world-wide 
| adoption.
