    Subject: Update on going to ISO


    Greetings,
    
    I checked with the members of V1 (the US national committee to JTC 1, 
    SC34) on the route to take the OpenOffice OASIS specification to ISO.
    
    OASIS is a full liason to SC34 so once the OpenOffice is in the proper 
    format, it can go directly to DIS (Draft International Standard stage).
    
    Re-formatting will be required. Same experience as RELAX-NG, which also 
    went from an OASIS to ISO in SC34. I have been told there were a number 
    of transformation stylesheets prepared in connection with that effort, 
    but I suspect they will be guidance as to what we need to do, since the 
    OpenOffice specification is in OpenOffice format.
    
    Both Jim Mason, convenor of SC34 (was around pre-SGML and following) as 
    well as Jon Bosak thought that SC34 would be a good place for the 
    OpenOffice Format Specification.
    
    I think you can count on the support of the rest of V1 in terms of 
    assisting in sheparding the OpenOffice Specification through the ISO 
    process.
    
    Hope everyone is having a great day!
    
    Patrick
