ODF loses if OOXML does
The editor of the Open Document Format (ODF) standard has written a letter that strongly supports recognizing Microsoft's Open Office XML (OOXML) file format as a standard, arguing that if it fails, ODF will suffer.

Members of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are considering whether to recognize OOXML as a standard. Critics of the specification have said it is too proprietary to be rightly considered a standard. The cutoff date for participating countries to vote on the standard is March 29.
