It is quite sad that a number of people want GNOME to shoot itself in the foot over the standardisation issues. I think GNOME's attempt to ensure that any resulting standard is implementable by free software is laudable; to put all our eggs in the "OXML doesn't get ISO" basket is a. risky and b. ignores that OXML is the default Office file format now :/ It seems to me that the people usually advocating that the community completely ignore OXML are the people who aren't using .doc files anyway.
