Having a thorough list with links to either the legislation itself
or to the official press releases will really help drive home the
huge market for ISO/IEC 23600 compliant software.
I agree. I asked Marino Marcich of the ODF Alliance (of which OOo is
a member) and he said that there is this document, http://
www.odfalliance.org/resources/GlobalViewODFPolicy.pdf, though it is
not fully up to date. I'd be happy too to have something like this on
the OOo wiki, but at some point it's best to have fewer than more, as
maintaining the files is the weak point. Incomplete files--as you
point out below--are a bane.
Here is one[1] which can be fleshed out:

[1] I am in the OpenDocument Fellowship, so it's the first one that
comes to my mind. If there's another list of countries and regions
going with open formats, please let me know. Having more than one
list won't hurt and may actually help, as long as they are complete.
