Open Document Foundation is just a title. Its nothing to do with OOo and now apparently nothing to do with odf. Its members are few in number and they have a particular view that is not held by too many others as far as I can tell. Sort of makes a bit of a nonsense of the their title really. They can't be an Open Document Foundation if they don't support the Open Document fileformat ;-) The Open Document Alliance is the umbrella organisation supporting odf and the Open Document Fellowship is the grass roots support group and a member of the Open Document Alliance. OOo is a fully working implementation of odf. Open Document Foundation is not really relevant to odf so why counter anything? IIRC we still have an Open Document Foundation registered here in the UK but it wasn't needed once the OD Alliance started.
