I think this is rather surprising. According to the guidelines at
Annex H JTC 1 Policy on Electronic Document Distribution Using the World
Wide Web
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/2489/186491/186605/AnnexH.html#H4.1
ISO accepts Microsoft Office formats but not its own ODF standard for office
documents:
H4.1 Document Formats
The choice of the document format shall be a function of the type of
document being distributed (i.e. revisable or non-revisable text). The
following document formats are acceptable:
- Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) version 2.0 or 3.2
- Plain DOS Text file, encoded in ISO/IEC 8859-1
- Microsoft WordTM Version 2.0 - Word 97.
Shouldn't this be the opposite?
