Saiu agora o resultado da votação internacional do Fast Track na ISO sobre a adoção do OOXML como uma padrão de documentos ou não.
O voto final é a soma de dois pilares:
- Membros P, que votam ativamente se aprovam o padrão ou não. Aprovação desse pilar só acontece se mais de 2/3 votarem SIM. Dos 32 paises, somente 17 (53%) votaram SIM.
- Membros O. Só passa aprovado daqui se a rejeição for menor que 25%. Dos 69 paises deste grupo, 18 (26%) rejeitaram o OOXML.
O resultado, meus amigos, é que OOXML não virou um padrão ISO.
Ainda haverá uma reunião março de 2008 para ver como o ECMA vai abraçar os comentários e alterar a especificação. Mas cá entre nós, isso será difícil. O OOXML é como se fosse uma mapa da memória da única aplicação que o gera e consome. Mudar o formato para acatar os comentários mais conceituais (relacionados a patentes e tecnologias obsoletas como VML) implica em mudar completamente a forma como o Microsoft Office trabalha suas estruturas de dados em memória, e como trata documentos legado. Um trabalho colossal.
Um outro caminho tortuoso é embarcar conversores em memória, mas já sabemos que eles dificilmente podem ser 100% confiáveis.
Bom, estamos todos comemorando. Jomar, da ODF Alliance Brasil, andou contando algumas análises que fizeram do MS Office 2007 e do formato OOXML, apontando uma séries de incosistências.
Mas a coisa mais importante que ele está perguntando é: visto a posição do Kazakistão, será que o Borat participou do comitê daquele país? Não deixe de votar.
Segue a lista dos paises e seus votos.
