BSI on OOXML

"While a certain number of errors is understandable in any large specification, the sheer volume of errors indicates that the specification has not been through a rigorous technical review before becoming an Ecma standard, and therefore may not be suitable for the [ISO] fast-track process."


BSI closed the doors and had an expert review of the standard. It is pretty difficult to win the case for the current specification on neutral expert ground.
