ANSI/INCiTS has completed their review of Ecma 376, and is ready to cast their ISO/IEC Contradiction Review Phase Fast Track Ballot in favor of Ecma 376 being rammed through ISO. As Sam Hiser points out in his PlexNex blog, not only are the findings of contradictions, inconsistencies, and proprietary dependencies pouring into the public view, there's not much an American can do about it. ANSI/INCiTS has determined that no contradictions exist."

Gmail - [office] Clarification for frame formatting property style:flow-with-text - Flock
-
Some notes on the history of this feature in OpenOffice.org Writer:
Prior to OpenOffice.org 2.0, text frames, embedded object and graphics
are clipped/captured inside its layout environment and flow with the
text flow, if possible. The reason for this was, that the content
structure also determines the layout structure - e.g. a paragraph inside
a page header have to stay inside the page header.
Shapes (drawing objects in OpenOffice.org) unfortunately doesn't follow
this rule.
For OpenOffice.org 2.0, we needed to unify text frames, embedded
objects, graphics and shapes. Thus, this frame formatting property has
been proposed. This need was also influenced by interoperability
requests for the binary Microsoft Word file format and the Microsoft
Word layout.
God Save the Queen!

Looks like the road to open standards now detours through Redmond, Washington. Can we still call the destiny "open standards" if proposals have to be filtered through the Microsoft business plan for world domination? This is not a good day for America.
