Microsoft's Office Open XML now an official ISO standard

Microsoft's embattled Office Open XML (OOXML) document format received ISO fast-track approval today after receiving support from approximately 86 percent of the national bodies that participated in the vote. ISO approval will be broadly perceived as a sign of validation for the document format which has received widespread criticism from technical experts and standards advocacy groups.

I only wish this was an April Fools story. But, there have been some Irregularities in the Germany, Norway, and Croatia. More information over at Groklaw.
