Evolution indeed

Actually the current Ecma 376 standaard is already higly compliant to the upcoming ISO standard of Office Open XML.

In a previous validation test of an existing Ecma 376 document against the not yet released ISO transitional schema's, for a many thousands of pages long spec document only 84 validation errors were found.
So the upcoming ISO/IEC 29500 standard is already very similar to the current Ecma standard and document would only require very little change to be converted 1-1.

That certainly applies to ODF 1.0 and 1.1 as well but where OOXML is moving towards an ISO version ODF has actually moved away from an ISO version.
