I totally agree that this is much more important than most people think.

I've been training hard (swimming) for the last 4 weeks. So far i've lost 0.6kg total weight, which is below my expectations. However, I also have been taking bodyfat measurements, which show that I've actually gained 1.4kg of muscle, and lost 2kg of fat.

As sticking with a routine is really about mentality, it really helps to know that you're making progress.

Firstly, Conroy is a Senator at the *Federal* level. This law was a *State* laws, meaning Conroy would not directly be able to introduce legislation to change these laws.

Secondly, crossing the state border to get around state laws is not hypocritical unless he actually supported those same laws. Nor is it Illegal.

But most importantly, despite being a Federal Senator, Conroy prompted a review of surrogacy laws which led to those laws being changed for the better.

So while Conroy may be a fool (Internet filtering, Copyright Cops etc.), he is not a hypocrite.

I'd hardly say consulting the people who are behind the standards are the best ones to get an honest view of its stability, completeness, and real-world support.

That's why it is troubling to see the people behind OOXML editing and inserting FUD into the ODF article.
