it seems there is hope that the weird situation of the ISO standard being
based on the outdated OASIS standard 1.0 will be improved:

- SC34 will request that we submit [OASIS] ODF 1.1 in a form where it can
be processed as an amendment of [ISO] ODF 1.0

so there seem to be plans to update ISO ODF 1.0 to incorporate the
enhancements from OASIS ODF 1.1.
of course, i have no idea how long it will take until that receives the
official anointment from ISO; these things tend to take a long time...
