According to NoOOXML, Microsoft's OOXML will not become ISO standard. Official statement on this issue is expected tomorrow.
Together with this good unofficial preliminary news, we tried very hard to reach Serbian standardization body (ISS) in goal inform ourselves and public about the Serbian vote. As we found out before, Serbia will vote or voted Yes, but that decision was based on information that Microsoft Serbia provided to ISS, without any further research about alternatives and OOXML's faults. In that sense I've sent couple of emails to ISS (you won't belive, but their phones are constantly unreachable) with pointers to crucial problems about so-called open format. They also got six questions, but we still have no answer. Anyway, I hope that this unofficial news will become official tomorrow.
