Title: Re: [xml-dev] WS-Emperor naked?
Actually, I did mention that it had received a no vote that had to be addressed, in the same sentence, (italicized) "... WSS which just passed its vote to become a standard, is one of those which is meant to work with the others, but it does have one no vote that has to now be addressed, but it is one of the few of those listed besides WSRP that actually HAS done passed that hurdle. ...

However, you are correct, I did not say that passing its vote did not necessarily mean it would become a standard, just that the no vote had to be addressed.

Ciao,
Rex

Actually it did not - there was one negative comment from an OASIS
member, which means that the TC has 30 days to decide its approach per
the OASIS process. *One* possible outcome is that the spec becomes an
OASIS standard.
