Technical problems have been pointed out in relation to not using several W3C recommendation in OOXML Draft. This relates specifically to: W3C CSS3 Color Module 2.18.46 section, p .2521)  W3C ITS 1.0 (2.3.3.24 section, p. 1051)  W3C RDF/XML Syntax section 10, p. 218)  W3C MathML 2.0 (7.1 section, p. 747)  W3C SMIL 2.1 (4.6 section, p. 3854)  W3C SVG 1.1 ( 15.2.17 section, p. 158, 2.18.46 section, p. 2521) Polish NB expresses their opinion that according to the JTC1 Directive, the ISO International Standard is required to be in compliance with existing ISO and/or IEC standards (see the Definition 3.3. of IS as taken out from ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards). We have not recognized any incompliance of the Draft with other ISO and/or IEC standards. However, W3C recommendations and their applicability should be considered as a base for further development during routine standard maintenance process as it is usually done in JTC1.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment PL-0002 (Modified: 2008-01-10) We agree that the use of existing standards is an important goal within any new standard; a great deal of effort was placed behind reviewing existing standards for their applicability to Office Open XML and using them whenever necessary ­ the following standards are used by DIS 29500 and referenced in either the Normative References or the Bibliography: Character Sets from IANA.
