OK, here is the link to the editorial: <http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?tab=r&autono=317797&subLeft=1&leftnm=4?> Readers can leave comments on the editorial. I guess this is the section: <quote> ... ODF proponents oppose OOXML on the grounds that “multiple standards” are not good, while Microsoft argues that OOXML — a recognised standard already — is a response to evolving technology formats in line with continual evolving technology systems. ... </quote> I guess, it can be interpreted as the editor endorsing OOXML as a "standard" but fails to mention whose standards :( -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
