OOXML: Waiting for the ISO Decision - if Microsoft's garbage heap (sorry, a "standard" with thousands of pages of explanations and thousands of critical notes and corrections and counter-corrections is simply a garbage heap) were to actually become a standard in the "Fast Track" procedure, the entire ISO procedure would have made itself completely ridiculous and it would be time to find a functioning alternative to this farce. If technical standards are now decided solely on the basis of political intrigues and economic interests, and in a way that clearly and unequivocally ignores the established regulations of the ISO ("Fast Track" is not intended for standards that require extensive discussion), then ISO is simply worthless.
