ODF editor backing OOXML

By Matthew Sparkes (PCPro)
The OpenDocument format will suffer if Microsoft loses its appeal to get OOXML ratified as an ISO standard, claims the editor of the open-source format, Patrick Durusau.
"As the editor of OpenDocument, I want to promote OpenDocument, extol its features, urge the widest use of it as possible, none of which is accomplished by the anti-OpenXML position in ISO. Passage of OpenXML in ISO is going to benefit OpenDocument as much as anyone else," says Durusau in an open letter.
