Story: OOXML expert: ODF standard is broken
ODF 1.1 is indeed an international standard
An "international standard" is defined, in ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004, definition 3.2.1.1, as "[A] standard that is adopted by an international standardizing/standards organization and made available to the public."
All OASIS Standards (or for that matter Ecma Standards) are international standards by this definition.
I guess the question to ask, is what incremental value would you ascribe to rubber stamping by JTC1? Was the approval of OOXML an indication of quality that is worth the effort attaining? I have my doubts. As it stands today, the title "OASIS Standard" is a far greater indication of quality than "ISO/IEC Standard". SC34 wishes that they could be as open, as transparent and as innovative as OASIS is.
