Unfortunately, there is a deep amount of cluelessness and poor
decision making within the leadership and staff at OASIS -- so
much so that it often hinders the work of committees trying to
develop specifications there.

Anyway, IMHO, the credit for ODF should go almost completely to
the members of the OpenDocument TC, particularly to the TC chair,
Michael Brauer. And perhaps to Sun, who (I think) has been
subsidizing a large part of the work.

Credit if any should go to OASIS only to the degree to which they
stayed out of the way and let the OpenDocument TC do its work.
