Re: [office] 60-day Public Review for OpenDocument Version 1.2 (COS)

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

Congratulations to TC members for reaching the next (and penultimate) 
milestone for OASIS ODF 1.2 !

From the new metadata framework, to accessibility improvements, to 
OpenFormula to the massive editorial task of making the spec 
ISO-comformant, this much-awaited revision of Open Document Format already 
has high adoption rate today.  I hope this presages even greater success 
once it is finally approved and published.

Everyone, enjoy the weekend, then back to ODF 1.3 proposals!

-Rob
