As has been stated on the mailing lists, according to the GNOME Foundation, GNOME's involvement in OOXML's standardization process does not imply a tacit approval of the specification and its worthyness as an ISO approved standard. I find that position very hard to reconcile with the Foundations actions in the matter. Let's fantasize a bit. Suppose the GNOME Foundation really very much was in favor of OOXML. Could you then think of a better way to aid Microsoft in getting the specification through than signing up GNOME to their working group (TC-45) and appoint one of the worlds most qualified engineers (Jody) to work on resolving technical problems with the spec?
