Durusau is on the same panel which was stacked aggressively by Microsoft in order to approve OOXML.

I published an item about it just a couple of minutes ago. Added were 4 references that shed light on Durusau’s role and situation. I hope this clarifies things.

This is a multi-billion-dollar question to Microsoft. It never plays nice and it gets even worse (behaviour turned most aggressive) when deadlines loom. Expect more before Monday.

what an ass..

The bottom line is that OpenDocument, among others, will lose if OpenXML loses. … Passage of OpenXML in ISO is going to benefit OpenDocument as much as anyone else.”
