Oyez- TEXAS V. JOHNSON, 491 U. S. 397 (1989) -- US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez

NO to the Microsoft Office format as an ISO standard

http://www.noooxml.org/petition

I ask the national members of ISO to vote "NO" in the ballot of ISO DIS 29500 (Office OpenXML or OOXML format) for the following reasons:

1. There is already a standard ISO26300 named Open Document Format (ODF): a dual standard adds costs, uncertainty and confusion to industry, government and citizens;
2. There is no provable implementation of the OOXML specification: Microsoft Office 2007 produces a special version of OOXML, not a file format which complies with the OOXML specification;
3. There is information missing from the specification document, for example how to do a autoSpaceLikeWord95 or useWord97LineBreakRules;
4. More than 10% of the examples mentioned in the proposed standard do not validate as XML;
5. There is no guarantee that anybody can write software that fully or partially implements the OOXML specification without being liable to patent lawsuits or patent license fees by Microsoft;
6. This format conflicts with existing ISO standards, such as ISO 8601 (Representation of dates and times), ISO 639 (Codes for the Representation of Names and Languages) or ISO/IEC 10118-3 (cryptographic hash);
7. There is a bug in the spreadsheet file format which forbids any date before the year 1900: such bugs affect the OOXML specification as well as software applications like Microsoft Excel 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007.
8. This standard proposal was not created by bringing together the experience and expertise of all interested parties (such as the producers, sellers, buyers, users and regulators), but by Microsoft alone.

精看1(未完): Free the iPhone - Jason Devitt testified before Congress

[Video]


[听写]
Chairman: Next witness is Mr. Jason Devitt. He is the founder & CEO of SkyDeck and the founder and former CEO of WinDigg(?). Both SkyDeck and WinDigg develops software applications for use on mobile devices. Welcome Mr Davitt.

JD: Thank you for opportunity to testify before you today. I'm a small business owner. I don't like regulators, not affect(?). I'm here today because I don't have no a choice with respect to wireless.(CM:yeah, you wouldn't exist with us). Precisely, that is precisely the point.
