Fascinating. Are we witnessing Microsoft murdering a standards body? (Or, at least, rendering it irrelevant.)

I suppose that's one way to deal with that pesky "interoperability" nonsense.

At this point that's ISO trying to make OASIS as irrelevant as possible as fast as possible. ISO suffered a lot in comparisons to OASIS last year, since they don't intend to fix their problems they need to break the OASIS ones ASAP or OOXML will continue to be a PR disaster.
