Google Code - Updates: Google welcomes ISO decision on OOXML

Google Code - Updates: Google welcomes ISO decision on OOXML: "Our engineers conducted an independent analysis of the OOXML specification and found several areas of concern, which we communicated both to the ISO and to the public. These include and are not limited to the following: * for a specification of this size it was not given enough time for review; * the undocumented features of OOXML prevents its implementation by other vendors; * dependencies on other Microsoft proprietary formats and their technical defects makes it difficult to fully implement; and * the overall cost for vendors of implementing multiple standards (hence the lack of OOXML implementations in the marketplace)."
