Sorry to keep on raising ogres to what you doubtless hoped was a "done deal"
with ISO (for which many thanks) but while at first sight the ISO response
of:

>SC 34 should send its comments to OASIS and have OASIS handle the defects.

seems to clarify the situation from WG1's point of view, it does not solve
the problem of the loose wording in Appendix A of the explanatory report for
ODF, which states:

> OASIS requests that any corrections of defects or errata
> from the JTC1 process be re-presented to the OASIS Technical Committee,
for
> handling and correction, which the Technical Committee will be pleased to
> publish in a manner coordinated with JTC1.

What does "re-presented" mean to you here? To me it means that once any
defects have been "presented" to ISO as a formal defect report or corrigenda
they should be submitted to OASIS for publication to their community at the
same time they are published by ISO.

I'm happy to abide by the ISO secretariate ruling, but am not sure where it
leaves us with other OASIS originated standards such as RELAX NG. For
example, what happens if WG1 asks SC34 to submit a defect report to OASIS
and OASIS choose to ignore the reported defect?
