Now It's Spain and OOXML - More Standards Highjinks?

,----[ Quote ]
| It seems there may have been more games played by Microsoft in the OOXML 
| saga, or at the very least some confusion spread, and this time our story 
| comes from Spain, where the government of Andalusia has now sent an official 
| letter of protest [PDF, Spanish] to the president of the technical committee 
| deciding whether or not to accept OOXML as an ISO standard, denouncing what 
| it called an attempt by Microsoft to manipulate the process by selectively 
| quoting from a letter from the Andalusian government back in January as if it 
| were an endorsement of OOXML as an ISO standard today. That January letter, 
| Andalusia says, was not intended to indicate that it felt there should be an 
| acceptance of OOXML by the technical committee.
