+ Detect OOXML files with undefined behaviour? +
+
+ 21st February 2017 +
+
+

I just noticed +the +new Norwegian proposal for archiving rules in the goverment list +ECMA-376 +/ ISO/IEC 29500 (aka OOXML) as valid formats to put in long term +storage. Luckily such files will only be accepted based on +pre-approval from the National Archive. Allowing OOXML files to be +used for long term storage might seem like a good idea as long as we +forget that there are plenty of ways for a "valid" OOXML document to +have content with no defined interpretation in the standard, which +lead to a question and an idea.

+ +

Is there any tool to detect if a OOXML document depend on such +undefined behaviour? It would be useful for the National Archive (and +anyone else interested in verifying that a document is well defined) +to have such tool available when considering to approve the use of +OOXML. I'm aware of the +officeotron OOXML +validator, but do not know how complete it is nor if it will +report use of undefined behaviour. Are there other similar tools +available? Please send me an email if you know of any such tool.

+ Ruling ignored our objections to the seizure of popcorn-time.no (#domstolkontroll) +
+
+ 13th February 2017 +
+
+

A few days ago, we received the ruling from +my +day in court. The case in question is a challenge of the seizure +of the DNS domain popcorn-time.no. The ruling simply did not mention +most of our arguments, and seemed to take everything ØKOKRIM said at +face value, ignoring our demonstration and explanations. But it is +hard to tell for sure, as we still have not seen most of the documents +in the case and thus were unprepared and unable to contradict several +of the claims made in court by the opposition. We are considering an +appeal, but it is partly a question of funding, as it is costing us +quite a bit to pay for our lawyer. If you want to help, please +donate to the +NUUG defense fund.

+ +

The details of the case, as far as we know it, is available in +Norwegian from +the NUUG +blog. This also include +the +ruling itself.
