Russell has just sent this one in. It’s in Korean, but here is an automated translation:
Gipyowon, MS Open XML an international standard ‘favor’
Microsoft (MS) Office Open XML (OOXML) international standard specifies the voting deadline a day away and representatives of the United States had the right to vote under the technical knowledge and Economy decided to vote in favor of international standardization OOXML KATS is a final cleanup plan.
The text isn’t entirely clear, so judge for yourself. █
