You think THIS is weird?You think THIS is weird?Posted Apr 2, 2008 21:04 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: OOXML approved as an ISO standard by alecs1 Parent article: OOXML approved as an ISO standard
Apparently Russia is using "silent vote": if technical specialists say nothing (for example because they had no time or were unable to reach consensus or even if they ignored issue completely) clerks automatically send "YES" vote to ISO. This is what happened with OOXML, but apparently this is NOT new procedure invented for OOXML. With rules like this it's a wonder that ISO creates usable specifications from time to time... OOXML cast a light on ISO's work - and it's NOT pretty. Lot's of rules, but no real substance. Even before Microsoft's manipulations. Why do we trust this organization at all?
