LordP writes "Standards New Zealand today cast a 'no' vote on the proposal to adopt the Open XML draft Standard as an international Standard.
From the article — "After considerable discussion and input from key New Zealand stakeholders, a large number of whom opposed publication of the document as an international Standard in it's current form, the Standards Council have concluded that the best vote for New Zealand is 'no'," said Grant Thomas, Chief Operating Officer, Standards New Zealand.
It's not the final word, but it's definitely a step in the right direction."
