GNOME and OOXML

It's a pity the GNOME Foundation still has not managed to communicate a readable position on
the new office formats, when KDE is cristal-clear on the subject:

All the "we participate in ECMA except we don't really support OOXML as an ISO format which is
what ECMA is working on and the slides published by our representant write OOXML should be
ISO-approved as do the quotes Microsoft spreads or what our Novell members say at every
opportunity and why are you flaming us anyway we understand ourselves" is not terribly
convincing.

The issue is big enough closing ranks to avoid contradicting old friends (that's how it feels
from the outside) may not be the best policy.
