Zur Info:
OOXML hat es nicht geschafft, als ISO-Standard akzeptiert zu werden. (Es
besteht aber die Möglichkeit, die Bedenken, derjenigen Gremien, die mit
"NEine" gestimmt haben bis Februar 08 auszuräumen, dann wird eine
abshclissende Sitzung stattfinden, in der sich die nationalen Gremien
nocheinmal entscheiden können).
Lt. einer Heise Meldung feiert MS die vorläufige Ablehnung von OOXML
trotzdem als "breite weltweite Unterstützung" für den Standard.

"Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by
national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no
more than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes
cast negative. Neither of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of
votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being
positive and 26 % of national votes cast being negative."
It is not over however over,
"The objective of the meeting will be to review and seek consensus on
possible modifications to the document in light of the comments received
along with the votes. If the proposed modifications are such that
national bodies then wish to withdraw their negative votes, and the
above acceptance criteria are then met, the standard may proceed to
publication."
So a close watch is now needed on whether the comments and issues are
resolved by February.
