Now here is something interesting: Apple sponsored the ECMA submission of Open XML.
ECMA是脚本语言的世界语(Esperanto)的方言。
The OOXML standard, available from ECMA, is distributed as a set of PDF documents, totaling around 6000 pages.
In addition to whatever real or perceived benefits that corporations get, ECMA standards have the advantage over ISO in that they are freely available.
比如,第三版在被ECMA批准之后,紧接着就进入到ISO的审批流程
OOXML标准源于ECMA,是一组以PDF 形式发布的文档,共 6000页左右。
