The ISO has approved one, and only one, standard
for
creating new office
documents - Open Document Format.
Um
I'm a bit confused. If that's true, then what is the
(admittedly infamous and
controversial) ISO/IEC
29500:2008?

"Questionable"? Hardly! I don't think that the Groklaw community has the
slightest need to "question" the typical behaviour of M$, which is largely
hard fact, as established in several court cases etc. :-) [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

OOXML is hardly a valid standard. A standard must be able to
stand alone and be fully described and defined within the
standard and any referenced standards. Referenced standards
must meet the same requirement, so that once all the standards
are collected, you can completely establish exact
behavior/functionality. Having things like "in the way of
[some closed/unstandardized product]" violates this.
Shame on ISO for allowing such trash.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

.... unless MS actually removed that requirement to have the year 1900
designated as a leap year...
