“Like many I’m sure, I’m trying to keep track of the votes on
OOXML as they become known. I’ve set up a spreadsheet where I’m
recording votes as they become known, whether they are formal and
confirmed, or coming to light from other sources, and therefore to
a greater or lesser extent possibly not accurate, what the sources

final number of abstentions, and whether they move from ‘yes’ or
‘no’ votes, can decrease the number of votes that need to switch to
‘yes’ votes. For that reason, I also include an explanation of how
