I'm of two minds here. I much prefer the open approach to standards development taken by the IETF to the approach taken by OASIS, but I also believe OASIS does good work, and calls for boycotts and the like, create an atmosphere of divisiveness and antagonism that I'm not too crazy about. I also wonder if open source hasn't become an end in itself, something more important than the software produced under the open source process.
