Forcecast: ISO Will Announce on Tuesday that OOXML Approval has Failed

With the polls now closed and the early results in (some public, some 
not), think it's time to predict with assurance that ISO will announce 
tomorrow that ISO/IEC DIS 29500, the draft specification based upon 
Microsoft’s Office Open XML formats, has failed to achieve enough yes 
votes to gain approval at this time.
