| perceptions of what Digistan is all about, and what I hope it will

Here is how Ireland voted in September:
Ireland Votes No with Comments
,----[ Quote ]
| After months of intensive review, analysis and discussion, NSAI has voted
| Disapproval - with Technical Comments, in respect of the OOXML submission.
| This effectively is a qualified yes, whereby Ireland has some technical
| issues with the submission. If the Technical Comments are satisfactorily
| resolved and incorporated into a new draft, the vote is subsequently amended
| to Approval.
