the head of the UK Unix and Open Systems User Group (UKUUG), Alain Williams,
told ZDNet.co.uk it was "excellent news". The UKUUG is trying to get the
British Standards Institution (BSI) to make a formal
objection<http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39408917,00.htm?r=1>to
OOXML's approval, and is currently waiting for the High Court to
address
its legal action against the BSI. According to Williams, this hearing has
been delayed until Tuesday or Wednesday because the High Court "lost an
important bit of paper which said it was urgent".
