Microsoft XML Fast-Tracked Despite Complaints

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-keep-pushing dept.

Lars Skovlund writes "Groklaw reports that the Microsoft Office XML standard is being put on the fast track in ISO despite the detailed complaints from national standards bodies. The move seems to be the decision of one person, Lisa Rachjel, secretariat of the ISO Joint Technical Committee, according to a comment made by her."

    So which standard do we use, wait... How can two standards that cover the same thing, while being incompatible, be standards?

    Lisa Rachjel needs to be fired... I wonder how much bribery money was involved to get this bitch to do it.
