| Lobbying has intensified ahead of Saturday, 29 March, the deadline for 
| Microsoft to convince the world that its Office Open XML specification should 
| be accepted as a formal standard.

| The specification is still short of the two-thirds majority required in a 
| vote of national standards bodies on whether to approve Office Open XML 
| (OOXML) as an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard.
