| The Pro-OOXML lobbyists a la Rick Jeliffe were prompt to demonstrate with 
| fancy graphics how “The Editor (Rex Jaeschke on behalf of ECMA TC45) has 
| accepted the lion’s share.” Graphics that are now being reused by Microsoft 
| in other documents prepared to convinced NBs that everything is fine,  
| Microsoft/Ecma accepted most comments.

| Yes, folks. Rick Jelliffe, who just told us that Microsoft hired him ("As
| I have mentioned, one of my jobs this month is for Microsoft, to play Devil’s
| Advocate with the Ecma responses..."), is representing Australia at the
| BRM. "Political issues don't come into it." Don't you just love it?
