Loss of Credibility

I think that what is happening here is that when a group bends the rules, for whatever reason, they sometimes find that they subsequently suffer from a lack of credibility, especially when it comes to activities in that same area. Clearly a lot of people believe very strongly that the process was abused in approving OOXML. To have that same group now come back and want to take over responsibility for the alternative standard, would require considerable trust and faith in the best of circumstances, and that is obviously lacking in this case.
