An overwhelming number of local commentators have decided to vote against the adoption of OpenXML as an ISO standard. While the ‘no' vote doesn't necessarily hint at the outcome of the standards debate around OpenXML worldwide, it does give a good idea of what the local market sentiment towards the file format is.

Interestingly enough, that sentiment is not entirely negative. The market feels that the standard is not ready, and rushing it through the standards process will do it no favours.
