Story: Details emerge of 'shocking' OOXML meeting

It's not all doom and gloom

Note that many ISO standards have never been used, or have just been ignored, or have been beaten to death with committee work on them.

That being said, I think there's oodles of money to be made for people willing to buy up rights to or reverse engineer older document standards and developing hooks so they could be updated to ODF. After all, I thought part of the gig with OOXML was supposed to be its capability (which seems on reflection to be absent) to read accurately old formats and render them accurately.
