Hi :)
This thread has gone waaay off-topic.  Continuing with that = this wikipedia 
guide might be interesting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization#Criticism


I think the question that started this thread has been solved but i'm not 
completely certain.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Now that ODF 1.2 does have an agreed specification for formulas and requires
that to be used in fully-conforming ODF 1.2 Spreadsheet documents, we will
see how implementations line up as there are releases from everyone that
support OpenFormula.  I believe that LibreOffice is already using
OpenFormula in current releases.  Microsoft's support for ODF 1.2 is not
known at this time, although there is a meeting in Brussels in April where
Microsoft is expected to provide more information.


The default specification for LO is 12extended that I am now using. So
supposing m$ suddenly provides support for ods12, does that mean I
would have to change the LO specification down from 12extended to 12
so that formulas are preserved for other ods12 programs?


Eike Rathke, here, was one of the major contributors to the definition of
OpenFormula, now in ODF 1.2, that will also be in an international standard
once ODF 1.2 is accepted by ISO.


It would be appreciated to receive notification when this
specification is accepted. Is m$ surreptitiously trying to
prevent/delay iso acceptance, or now bribing (sorry, wrong word,
"suggesting") iso to adopt some m$ooxmlooformula alternative?
