"Standards Australia has cast a vote to abstain from the ISO/IEC JTC1
ballot to adopt the DIS 29500 Office Open XML format draft standard as
an International Standard. The decision to cast an abstain vote from
the current ballot follows months of consultation and a clear lack of
consensus in Australia on this issue by stakeholders."
