Oh goodie -- new rules have been created in the standardization process specifically for OOXML. Because ISO delegates couldn't make it through more than 20% of the 1,100 comments during their five-day Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM), they opted to abandon the required individual review of 900 of 1,100 comments.
The implications seem obvious -- OOXML isn't ready to become a fast-tracked ISO standard. It is already an ECMA standard -- can't that be good enough?
