This was going round in my head. If MS state that MS-Office is compliant
with DIS-29500, to whom does it fall to validate that compliance? Presumably
if that compliance is not stated, (and, heaven forbid, DIS-29500 gains ISO
status) MS-Office remains ineligible for those procurements where compliance
with an ISO file format standard is required?
