Is this a 'Chewbacca defence' or something?

Um, this 'OOXML expert' is the chair of the BSI committee that reversed the BSI's decision, isn't he?

I don't suppose this has anything to do with the action against the BSI in the High Court:

Whether it does, or is just yet another strange 'coincidence', surely he was aware of the flaws in his 'smoke test' as pointed out in Peter Judge's comment?
