The group behind the OpenDocument standard has submitted the document format to a key standards organization, a move that could make open-source desktop applications more attractive to governments. OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, said it has submitted the standard to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

You missed the point by miles........
Being "submitted", and being "adopted", are far flung from one another.
Yeah, apparently I was operating under a different meaning of the word "adoption", which, looking back, was wrong on my part.
I was referring to adoption out in the world, people actually picking up and using it. That is happening, and the hope here is that ISO will accept OpenDocument as a standard and real world adoption will increase.
