Vendor Standards

So how far is it right to push vendor standards?

Is it right to get your affiliates to suddenly join standards voting committees to skew the make-up of the committee to be pro your proposed standards so you can steam roller your standards through even if they are far from perfect and haven't been properly reviewed as you used EMCA to fast track it?

Such behaviour brings the whole ISO standards process into question.

Which of course is exactly what Microsoft want - they want standards, their standards, imposed through leverage, threats and political corruption.
