To Whom It May Concern -
I am writing to voice our strong
support for the approval of Ecma International's Open XML standard as an
ISO/IEC standard. We at InRule Technology strongly urge American
National Standards Institute to communicate its support of the ISO/IEC ratification
of this standard to the JTC1 Secretariat.
Open XML represents an important
advance in document standards that offers benefits to technology users,
the technology industry, consumers, businesses and governments worldwide.
The standard received a strong endorsement when it was approved by Ecma
in December 2006 and submitted to JTC1 for fast-track approval.
Open XML will enable backward
compatibility with billions of archived documents, and the extensive standard
accommodates a wide range of languages and cultures, as well as assistive
technologies that help people with disabilities. Governments and businesses
will both benefit from the standard itself, as well as from the range of
new products that implement the standard. Furthermore, Open XML in
no way contradicts any other international document standard.
Thank you for your support
for Open XML. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Theresa O'Neil
