That's good, so why not let that work continue, rather than undermine
the ISO policy of "One Standard, One Test, Accepted Everywhere"  ?

Having Gnome working against open standards 1) lowers the credibility of
all Gnome project by association, 2) takes developer time away, directly
and indirectly, from interoperability.

If Gnome had ODF support, it would not be much of an issue.


However, they seem to be allowing Jody and a few others to use the Gnome
name to promote technologies that are neither complete nor free of
licensing gotchas.
