Very cool.

Here is what I would suggest for OpenISO.org's further steps in regard
to MS-OOXML:

I think the next step is to go through these documents and make a list
of what appears to be the big, potential show-stopper issues mentioned
in any of those comments documents or in other sources known to us.

At this stage the goal is not to evalutate the arguments and concerns
with regard to their merits, but just to build a list of work-items
covering the claims of serious issues.

Then we'll go through that list of work-items one by one to see which
of the concerns are valid justifications for OpenISO.org non-approval
of MS-OOXML.

I'll then collect the conclusions that we have reached on all of these
work-items in a document "OI PR-F29500:draft1 OpenISO.org Problem
Report on Microsoft's OOXML", which can then be further revised to
improve the wording of the report.

Greetings,
Norbert.
