Showdown in Geneva: OOXML Fails to Achieve Majority Approval at BRM

"Many, many, people around the world have tried very hard to make the OOXML adoption process work. It is very unfortunate that they were put to this predictably unsuccessful result through the self-interest of a single vendor taking advantage of a permissive process that was never intended to be abused in this fashion. It would be highly inappropriate to compound this error by approving a clearly unfinished specification in the voting period ahead. To paraphrase a former First Lady, it's time to "Just say No" to OOXML."
