File format standards getting sorted!

It has taken a flippin long time, but it is good to see these issues sorted/being sorted:

• Adobe PDF ratified by ISO as standard - finally let go of proprietary format last year and put it up for ratification
• Microsoft OOXML ratified by ISO as standard - although the ISO version won't be incorporated until Office 14 comes out next year, and the approval is being challenged by 4 governments . .. .
• ODF being supported by Microsoft - in an Office 2007 Service Pack to be released in 2009
