Great article by Evan Leibovitch. His approach to the issue of MS Ecma 376 is refreshingly different in that he sees the success of OpenDocument as a user challenge to years of softwware vendor control: "For the first time in decades, major IT users are challenging the traditional proprietary formats used by software programs...."
Evan goes on to sight Rob Weirs blog as evidence that MS Ecma 376 continues the long traditon of vendor control through the binidng of file formats to proprietary applications.
