QOTD: Standards and Movies
From IBM’s Rob Weire, regarding yet another minor issue in the battle between MS XML and ODF:
… In the end, I encourage Microsoft and every other V1 member to read the ODF 1.0 specification thoroughly with a red pencil in hand and submit comments. I encourage the same from advisory committees for all national bodies. A full, public & open, review will only make ODF stronger, and further distinguish it from Open XML. If you have a good product, you invite public scrutiny and review. If you don’t have a good product, you rush it through without changes and without the benefit of open, public review.
Ever notice how only the really bad movies are released directly to the theaters, without a preview screening for the critics?
