This means that OpenDocument 1.1 and 1.2 are going to both be standardized which is a great thing. Especially since 1.2 improved spreadsheet support according to http://www.pcworld.com/article/240930/spreadsheets_come_to_odf_as_version_12_wins_approval.html

This is good news and another reason to switch from 1.1 to 1.2 as my default in LibreOffice. Hopefully Microsoft Office in the future fully supports 1.2 just in case the people I send these files to use it.
