What you wrote in your statement is OOXML and ODF are basically the same and one should not refuse one or the other.

No, that really is not the case. We did say that they were both products of their software implementation heritage, but that does not mean the same thing. We really don't see this as a black and white issue, nor do we see that it's healthy for us to approach it as a black and white issue. We do recognise others in the community see it that way, and we're willing to take the hit. There are plenty of others who see what we're doing as a clever way to hack Microsoft's otherwise totally controlled ECMA process. :-)

You talk like a judge, but you lack the power of a judge.  To the real judges you seem
confusing and ineffective.  You need to talk like an advocate.  This is not to say GNOME is a
bad person.  Just that you're out of your depth.  Please reconsider.
