More about OOXML

Rejden blogged about other parties that filed oppositions. And Miguel de Icaza puts forward an intresting contrary position. Yet, he has no argument against the ongoing lobbying efforts and his blogpost headline is wrong: "The EU Prosecutors are Wrong." What EU prosecutors?

...it seems that the call for delaying [ISO] adoption [of OOXML] is politically based and not technically based...


The standardisation at ISO is just political, so the response is. It is a misconception of technologists to think in terms of technological decisions. That is not how business works.
