These are all very good reasons to counter ISO. What other alternatives are there?

We looked into ISO in order to possibly define a document format for the German Government but unfortunately we soon had to discover that ISO is completely unusable for our purposes. Basically ISO makes the standards non-free in both senses (freedom and beer). In addition ISO is _very_ slow in updating their standards. Taking part in ISO standardization is very time consuming and very expensive.
