On the other hand, whatever one thinks of Microsoft they are not

They must be making some consumer claims (true or not). OOXML is a new
file type, so they can't logically base their argument on existing
widespread use.
What is going on?
They also claim it improves "compatibility", though I don't know how.
Compatibility with Microsoft products, perhaps ;-)
Now, though, I'm curious as to what Microsoft does in response to
this. Do they:
A. Adopt ODP as it is already "open standard"
B. Try another run at ISO certificaiton
C. Go back to those governments and try to have them repeal those
laws about ISO certification on the grounds that it harms "consumer
choice".
My guess would be at C.
There's still another vote in February, after they've resolved all the
comments.
