So we should be as grubby and corrupt as them? What I am saying here is not
that we should put up a weak fight. I am saying we should *defeat* OOXML
under the terms defined by ISO. I'm helping to do that in Australia. It is
in the local standards bodies that the fight exists now. Not on the GNOME
Foundation mailing list.

This discussion is not about supporting OOXML.
