A group formed five years ago to promote the OpenDocument Format has abandoned ODF and will favor one developed by the World Wide Web Consortium known as the 'Compound Document Format', or CDF. The OpenDocument Foundation's format failed to meet market requirements, the group said.

Frankly, I'm not sure what your point is.
Of course this story is newsworthy in its own right. It is worth mentioning the fact that the OpenDocument Foundation has little actual influence on the OpenDocument Format though. There is definitely room for confusion.
With respect to the decision made by the Foundation, I'm curious to know what products actually support CDF.
