  > OOXML-like rubber-stamping process Compare Dart and Microsoft OOXML is unfare. - OOXML implementation is not open source nor under BSD licence - Poorly defined => 6546 pages vs 867 pages for ODF to achieve the same goal - Given the huge amount of work Microsoft decided to go with... the fast track ISO procedure! - Corruption of ISO members? - ... > how many of Darts [...] flaws have been fixed in ECMA [...]? None yet, it is just the beginning of TC52.
