Change the format and not the software...
Anton Philidor 21st Apr 2008
... and somehow the software will not produce the changed format. This was one of the easier test results to predict. The key paragraph:

As changes were made at an ISO ballot resolution meeting, Office 2007 documents no longer conform to the current standard based on OOXML, known as ISO/IEC 29500, according to Brown.

[End quote.]

We might in future also expect situations in which Microsoft changes the software/formats and the standard is not changed as quickly.

Or do you expect that Microsoft will be required to await outside approval before improving the software?
