This brief summary of the ODF <>OOXML controversy covers the recent response by Ecma to the ISO/IEC JTC 1 National Body members who filed objections to placing Ecma 376 on an ISO fast track approval process. This article has the actual ECMA Response PDF! A document that is well worth reading and studying.
Essentially Ecma has told ISO to take a hike!
In responding to the different objections, Ecma chose to explain their position without once offering to fix or remedy he many problems and issues that so concern the 20 different NB's filing objections. Not once! No compromise whatsoever, only the preachy attitude that the objecting NB's simply don't understand the wonders of Ecma 376 or what a ISO "contraditction" means.
Take a Hike! Up Yours! Screw you and the horse you rode in on too!

Pick your metaphor, it's all the same.
