Submission + - British Standards Institute votes NO to OOXML (bsi-global.com)

mikeb writes: Although it's not as plain as a pikestaff from the wording of the press release at http://www.bsi-global.com/en/About-BSI/News-Room/B SI-News-Content/Disciplines/Information-Management /ISOIEC-DIS-29500/ , the key bit is "a number of technical issues in the document which need to be addressed before the UK can approve ISO/IEC DIS 29500 OOXML as an International Standard" — in other words, NO with comments (the alternative would be yes with comments but that cannot force a ballot resolution meeting). I wish anyone well who tries to resolve some of the comments!
