Abstract
In the last issue of Standards Today, my editorial in that issue was prophetically titled "The Overwhelming of ISO/IEC JTC1", due to the fact that only one week had been allocated to resolving more than 1,100 separate comments (some 900 of them substantive), at the Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) about to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, that had been registered by National Bodies from around the world during the voting period that failed to approve OOXML during the initial balloting period in mid-2007. Without exception, every fear that I raised in that editorial was realized, and worse.
