I also find it bad practice to be so close to an EU proposal.

Alternative proposal.


 "ODF Interoperability and Conformance Technical Committee"



Telling Sun/IBM/FOSS guys how to do their job is
stupid and a waste of time.

Give them something to test compliance with a workable
standard (Conformance testing) and they might react positively
(sidestepping Pauls assertions).

Interop responses would be a recommendation back to the main TC.
Conformance would be a test specification.
Profiles (the exchange profile is the most interesting one yet Paul) would
be a bonus.
