Another milestone for open document standards has been reached with the formal submission of Open Document Format (ODF) v1.2 by OASIS to the ISO/IEC JTC 1 committee [ http://www.iso.org/iso/jtc1_home.html [iso.org] ]. The message on the OASIS mailing list archive gives more details:

This is an important step for ODF 1.2 to become an ISO standard, and the next stage of the process is for a ballot of the ISO national comittees once translation of the submission into all the necessary languages is complete.

I am very grateful for the painstaking work that many people are carrying on in the background to advance this.
