[odf-discuss] countering Patrick Durusau's public statement favoring OOXML as an ISO standard

[Christian Einfeldt]

IMHO, we should prepare some kind of public statement countering Patrick
Durusau's statement that ODF gains if OOXML gets ISO status:

http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/03/25/2150226.shtml

Of course, I am a simple end user, and so I am in no position to disagree
with Patrick about the technical merits of OOXML gaining ISO status; but it
seems as if there are non-technical concerns that outweigh the technical
merits of OOXML gaining ISO status.  I will reply again further in a moment,
but since this is now on the fp of /. , I thought it would be good to start
a discussion now.
