« Swedish Spillover: OOXML's Cascading Failure | Main | Reality Bites »
There's no way to tell which way the voting will end up on Monday (48 hrs from now), September 2, 2007.
Upon John Gotze's good news that Denmark is a "No", Roy calls it a "fiasco" while Eric S. Raymond calls it a "scandal".
"September Second: The OOXML Scandal"...that rather trips off the tongue...

Hi Sam,
On the Noooxml.org site there is an entry (http://www.noooxml.org/forum/t-18315/how-much-stuffing-in-the-iso-turkey) that suggests that unless M$ can get 42 P members to vote in the affirmative then it might fail at the first hurdle. Not sure if his maths is right or not; Andy Updegrove (http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20070831151800414) is the one who seems to really grok this stuff...
