[0]Steve Pepper writes "The former Chairman of the Norwegian ISO
committee, who resigned two weeks ago in protest against his country's
vote of Yes to OOXML, tells the inside story of [1]how the decision was
reached: how a single bureaucrat from Standards Norway sidelined the
overwhelming majority of Norwegian technical experts and changed Norway's
vote from No to Yes. The story is so surreal it's hard to believe." It's
as depressing as it is brief.
