Hi Adam,

Yes I have read that articale David Lane also asked this question on this bog post:

http://blogs.msdn.com/smcbreen/archive/2007/08/24/people-implementing-ecma-office-open-xml.aspx#comments

I've attempted to address the concern there - my key point is the commitment from Ecma and ourselves to correct any errors - I'm not commenting on the factual correctness of the document you've highlighter rather that we are commited to doing the right thing.

Hope that helps.

Sean

Congratulations, you are one step closer to making the ISO completely pointless. Microsoft is opening the door.

Yeah, that is bullshit. Everyone in the room knows you won't fix crap because it would require fixing some of the legacy cruft and thus would not be compatible with Office 2007.
