+Title: ISO still hope to fix OOXML

+<p>According to <a
+href="http://twerner.blogspot.com/2009/08/defects-of-office-open-xml.html">a
+blog post from Torsten Werner</a>, the current defect report for ISO
+29500 (ISO OOXML) is 809 pages.  His interesting point is that the
+defect report is 71 pages more than the full ODF 1.1 specification.
+Personally I find it more interesting that ISO still believe ISO OOXML
+can be fixed in ISO.  Personally, I believe it is broken beyon repair,
+and I completely lack any trust in ISO for being able to get anywhere
+close to solving the problems.  I was part of the Norwegian committee
+involved in the OOXML fast track process, and was not impressed with
+Standard Norway and ISO in how they handled it.</p>
+
+<p>These days I focus on ODF instead, which seem like a specification
+with the future ahead of it.  We are working in NUUG to organise a ODF
+seminar this autumn.</p>
