The BSi have - historically at least - been very scrupulous with their standards and they did after all release a huge list of comments on ooxml (http://www.xmlopen.org/ooxml-wiki/index.php/DIS_29500_Comments) quite some time ago, so it would look rather strange if their vote was inconsistent.

They take standards extremely seriously. And Alex Brown has been asked to Govern the Ballot Resolution Meetings (Feb '08)...a good choice it looks like. Look for the BSi to hold its own.
