...would this lead to the OOXML proposal dying sooner than if fast track had been rejected and it had to go through the regular process? If so, maybe this is a net win - having OOXML get whacked in five months has got to be better than having it linger for years in committee while MS makes PR hay from it.

When it comes to political tasks like ratifying standards, MS is very, very good at greasing the wheels. I'm afraid that now nobody will have the time and ability to construct a convincing objection and OOXML will most likely be passed.
