The OOXML Scandal

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...
