“It seems there may have been more games played by Microsoft in
the OOXML saga, or at the very least some confusion spread, and
this time our story comes from Spain, where the government of
Andalusia has now sent an official letter of protest [PDF, Spanish]
to the president of the technical committee deciding whether or not
to accept OOXML as an ISO standard, denouncing what it called an
attempt by Microsoft to manipulate the process by selectively
quoting from a letter from the Andalusian government back in
January as if it were an endorsement of OOXML as an ISO standard
today. That January letter, Andalusia says, was not intended to
indicate that it felt there should be an acceptance of OOXML by the
technical committee.”
Now It’s Spain and OOXML – More Standards Highjinks?
