ODF Accepted as an ISO Standard -- 10:42 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

It's pretty straightforward: OpenDocument format (ODF) was accepted as an ISO standard. What this means is that ODF won't just be a standard among free software fans, but it is an official ISO standard. That should make it easier for acceptance among government agencies, etc. Microsoft's OpenXML (which many are saying is a contradiction in terms) is up for ISO approval soon too. Thanks Slashdot.
