I'm a member of the Norwegian Standards Institute committee K 185, who is set do discuss Norway's opinion on the ISO certification of OOXML. I've written an article which may be of interest, regarding the Norwegian process.

The article may be found in my weblog at the following URL:

He still must resubmit his written thesis after making required corrections, but this is pro forma. He is to formally receive his doctorate in May 2008, nearly 40 years after turning from his studies to become a professional musician. The subject of his thesis, entitled "Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud," is based on work he did in Tenerife in the 1960's. He has two prior scientific publications on this topic, in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (166, 429 — 448 (1974)), and in Nature (240, 401 — 402 (15 December 1972))."
