Submission + - "Microsoft fails the Standards Test" - Alex Brown (adjb.net) 2
levell writes: Alex Brown, Convenor of the Ballot Resolution Meeting on OOXML has written an interesting blog entry saying that MS Office 2010 still writes documents in the transitional variants of OOXML (meant for legacy documents rather than the strict variants that was intended for future documents). Mr. Brown also says that defects are also being fixed very slowly and that "Looking at the text, I reckon it is more like 95% that remains to be done, as it is still lousy with defects.". It's an insightful look at what has happened with OOXML since ISO approved it from someone who was not opposed to the standard.
