Story: ISO rejects national bodies' appeals against OOXML

Seems to be the way the world has gone.

The standard is flawed and incomplete but the only appeals that can be made are about the ancillaries such as the voting process, wrong color paint on the ceiling at the meeting when the decision was made etc, not the fact that the original decision is wrong or the proposed standard is wrong, still incomplete etc and needs correcting.

The UK gov does this all the time with "you can appeal about the way the decision was made but not against the underlying rules used"
