Are you aware of the document 10 worst responses that was released a week or two ago by the ODF Alliance?
Yes, ODF Alliance found the "10 worst responses" of ECMA International to DIS 29500 comments. I am not sure they did a good job to find the worse dispositions as I found even more ridiculous ECMA proposals while reading the spec.
Microsoft's Mauricio Ordoñez responded to the comments and concluded:
10 of 11 criticisms in the ODF Alliance are riddled misrepresentations and inaccuracies. It seems the DIS29500 project editor did a good job of addressing the ODF Alliance concerns if these 11 represent what they consider the “Top Worst”.
The row of criticism:
- ECMA 376 - "broken fat spec on the ISO fast track" , 6000 pages
- 3500 comments of national bodies on ECMA 376
- ECMA disposition of comments proposal (15 Jan, 2300 pages)
- ODF Alliance criticism of the ECMA responses
- Ordoñez criticism of the Top Worst document.
Now is your turn to respond to Ordoñez criticism
Yesterday Benjamin Henrion said to me he was surprised the petition text was still applicable.
