FYI: Open Document Format made national standard in Sweden

[Theodoros G. Karounos]

...

The Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) approved the Open Document Format
(ODF) as a national standard, the ODF Alliance reported this week.

"Sweden now joins Brazil, Croatia, Italy, South Korea, and South Africa as
countries whose national bodies have formal approved this standard", the ODF
advocacy organisation writes in this week's newsletter.

SIS press officer Erika Messing called the approval "routine". SIS was one
of the national standardisation organisations that took part in the
procedure at ISO to approve ODF, she said. "ISO approved it in 2006 and now
SIS has made it a national standard."

Messing adds that all standards are voluntary to use. European standards are
mandatory to implement as national standards but they are still voluntary to
use.
