schliz alerts us that ISO, in response to the four appeals (Venezuela,
India, Brazil, South Africa) filed in recent weeks, has put the OOXML
standardization process on hold. Here is ISO's press release, which says
that ISO/IEC DIS 29500 will not be published for at least "several
months" while the appeals process goes forward. 
Update: 06/11 10:13 GMT by  KD : Reader Alsee points out that the fourth
officially recognized appealing country is Venezuela, not Denmark as
originally stated. The protests of Denmark and Norway are being
disregarded, as they do not come from the administrative heads of their
national organizations.
