Misunderstandings like this are the risk we run from having bitter
discussions.  Mark Shuttleworth spoke here in San Francisco yesterday about
the importance of having more calm discussions between ourselves and with
proprietary vendors.  The misunderstanding about Jeff Waugh's position might
be one example supporting Mark's comments.  If we shout at one another, it
is more likely that we will misunderstand one another.

comments (objections) to OOXML as an ISO standard.  Did I misunderstand that
point?
