What did the ISO and the IEC say to the anti-OOXML crowd?

“Go away, losers.”

Open XML is on ISO fast track.

It must not have been a good weekend in Armonk.

Despite all their specious arguments, the ISO, speaking through Lisa Rajchel, informs us that, after consulting with staff at the International Technology Task Force - a grandiose name indeed - she decided to move the application to a fast track status.

Can I get a 'YAY' from the audience?

Isn't Ms. Rajchel several megaparsecs removed in functional processing power than that harridan, Kroes?

I wonder if the headbanging at IBM over this new development has stopped?
