OpenDocument is Now a Real ISO Standard

Yesterday ISO, the International Standards Organization, finally made the OpenDocument Format (ODF) specification into a real ISO standard by pushing the specification into stage 60/60. This means that every government on earth could -- and indeed should -- specify ODF as the preferred format for storing office files.

This is very good news for KOffice since we were the first office suite that used ODF as the default file format and is now only superseded by OpenOffice.org in the support of it. For more details, see: The ISO website about ODF. Of course, it was known for some time that this was going to happen, but it's still nice when it actually becomes reality.
