They will get it approved but it will be a real problem for both the ISO system and Microsoft. Yes, a bitter victory. I think all sides would be better off when Microsoft gets time to fix the specification, so it would be approved with real consensus and without dirty tricks and stuffing. I would forgive them everything they have done to international standardization. The standard project driven by p-members like Ivory Coast, Jamaica etc. - this is just insane. Don’t they care about the damage they do to the international standard system?
