There are now two supported formats, ODF and OOXML./. doesn't think theres enough room for the two to co-exist?
If OOXML breaks a few of ISO's rules and ISO still approves, couldn't it mean that they (and those who voted) saw enough value in OOXML to still let some of its faults slide? I'm sure its not the first time ISO has approved of something that wasn't perfect.
I just think everyone seems to be over reacting... but maybe I'm just ignorant.

I think the ISO has done enough good in the past that I trust their judgment. M$ I don't trust at all for anything, but I still respect their talents.

Why does /. hate OOXML so much? Every time a story is ran about OOXML, everyone on /. seems to scream revolution and blasphemy.
