[odf-discuss] ODF adoption -- Japan

[Alexandro Colorado]

I wonder how much is published the non-standard way of doing business.  
Only people that have blogged and heard about those blogs know that ECMA  
has never denied any petition to become a standard from any of their  
members all through the organizational history.

ECMA is in the pocket of the companies and doesn't go through any  
significant validation process.

I acknowledge this is a different topic from the one from Japan, but is  
also important that we know this and most people don't knw and view the  
ECMA and ISO organizations as equals.
