schliz alerts us that ISO, in response to the four appeals (Venezuela,
India,
Brazil,
South Africa) filed in recent weeks, has
put the OOXML standardization process on hold. Here is
ISO's press release, which says that ISO/IEC DIS 29500 will not be published for at least "several months" while the appeals process goes forward.
Update: 06/11 10:13 GMT by
KD : Reader Alsee points out that the fourth officially recognized appealing country is Venezuela, not Denmark as originally stated. The protests of
Denmark and
Norway are being
disregarded, as they do not come from the administrative heads of their national organizations.
