ISO takes full charge of Open XML, sets up 'harmonization' group

"""
As of yesterday, International Organization for Standardization
committee SC 34 passed a resolution that effectively assumes
stewardship of Open XML, the document format standard originally
produced by Microsoft, and which is now officially under new
management.
...

The resolution called for the creation of three working bodies within
SC 34, each of the first two being devoted to one of the two document
format suites. The third working group will be devoted to
"interoperability/harmonization between document format standards."
