It's quite plain that they know OOXML is so bad that the only way it can be "approved" is to cheat. Lots of info on this can be had on sites such as groklaw.net, www.robweir.com/blog, www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog, www.sutor.com/newsite/blog-open and elsewhere. OOXML is a scam, designed to force further lock in to MS products.
