Absolutely, but please put my statement in proper context. I'm disputing the assertion that Jody being in TC45 means that "Gnome is helping OOXML in the ballot resolution process". The process is not political in any way that makes that assertion true. The things you listed are definitely political, but they weren't about Gnome. Rob, do *you* think that Gnome's mere presence in TC45, given that Jody is not actively participating at this stage, is helping OOXML become an ISO standard?

Cheers,
Daniel.
