Pseudo-ECMA-CompTIA for closed Microsoft 'standards'

This is getting somewhat ridiculous and the timing is no coincidence. The press is now quoting a man who works for a Microsoft lobbying arm. It asks him about OOXML and makes a complete article about it. Mind you, this man was also recently hired by Microsoft (at ECMA), but the press describes him only as a "a European standards expert". That man is Jan van den Beld, who now works for CompTIA

If someone cites this article, but sure to let him or her know who Jan van den Beld is. The article does not tell the whole story. It's akin to giving Bob Sutor a 'placement' at ZDNet, describing him only as "an American standards expert". ⬆
