not good news for ODF :(

[Michael Pelletier]

I would think that this would be better news than trying to play catch-up
with undocumented features, bugs, conversion problems, and
forward-incompatability in Microsoft document formats every two years.

With OOXML an ISO standard, it should now be possible to write an editor
that is absolutely 100% compatible with Office 2007 documents, with no pesky
compatability or rendering quirks, right?

It's not like Microsoft was ever going to fully adopt ODF, in any case -
they're Microsoft, after all.  IBM should know that personally, given their
experience with OS/2.
